Creating Local Reinforcement of a Channel in a Composite Casting Using Electromagnetic Separation

This article presents a new method to obtain local reinforcement in near-surface layers of channels in castings made of a particle-reinforced metal matrix composite in the alternating electromagnetic field generated by an inductor placed inside the channel. In centrifugal casting, the centrifugal fo...

Description
Summary:This article presents a new method to obtain local reinforcement in near-surface layers of channels in castings made of a particle-reinforced metal matrix composite in the alternating electromagnetic field generated by an inductor placed inside the channel. In centrifugal casting, the centrifugal force on the particles leads to the formation of composite structures, while in the proposed method, the electromag- netic force field on the particles results in the designed structure of the composite casting. The article reports the experimental verification of this method using an aluminium sleeve reinforced locally with SiC particles at the inner wall.
