ELECTROMAGNETICALLY STIRRED SAND CASTINGS

摘要

A casting system, mold, and method are disclosed for electromagnetically stirring sand castings. In an embodiment, the casting mold includes a mold body having a cavity therein, and a passageway fluidly connecting the cavity with an exterior of the mold body. The passageway allows for introduction of a molten metal into the cavity. The mold body further includes at least one induction coil embedded in a cope of the mold body; and at least one induction coil embedded in a drag of the mold body. The induction coils are configured to generate an electromagnetic field for stirring a molten metal casting while it solidifies inside the mold.
