Abstract:Pulsed electric field has been effectively used to control and modify the solidification process in castings. In this study, a pulsed electric field at 8 volts and 19 kHz has been applied to Fe-P, Fe-S, and Fe-Si binary alloys, and microstructure and elements distribution of the three alloy samples have been inspected. The results indicated that P migrated from cathode to anode while S and Si migrated from both electrodes to the center under the pulsed electric field during the solidification process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
