摘要
Effects of processing variables using such as the frequency of imposed field (f), imposed magnetic flux density (B-e), processing time (t), the diameter of inclusions (d(p)) and the ratio of pipe radius to skin depth (r(1)/delta) on the electromagnetic separation (EMS) removal efficiency of inclusions from an aluminum melt were analyzed theoretically. It was found that the removal efficiency (eta) reaches a maximum while r(1)/delta ranges from 1.5 to 2. In addition, wider effective range of r(1)/delta will be obtained with larger d(p) or higher f Experimental results on aluminum melt show that higher frequency and magnetic flux density make for higher removal efficiency, matching well with the theoretical results. In the case of f = 15.6 kHz, B-e = 0.1 T and t = 10 s, more than 80% inclusion particles with 6-mum diameter can be removed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
