Three-Dimensional Modeling of Electrothermal Energy Conversion during Melt Processing by Electric Current

By the methods of mathematical three-dimensional modeling, features distribution electric and thermal fields in volume molten alloy foundry hypoeutectic silumin A356, when it is treated with an current by parallel electrodes, are established. It was found that geometry electrode system qualitatively quantitatively determines effect electrothermal on melt treatment direct current. demonstrated depth deepening electrodes a non-insulated lateral surface does not have active influence temperature processes during conduction treatment. The obtained qualitative quantitative data for systems correspond to experimental data. shown change spatial arrangement isolated significantly affects as well quantitative, more than thrice, characteristics these melt. method controlling conductive melts, based type system, require additional financial costs can be carried out directly
