Model of Electro-Pulse Processing of Metals Melts

Abstract

Questions of influence of nanosecond electromagnetic impulses on melts of metals are considered in the article. The analysis of action of impulses on electromagnetic hashing and thermal conditions of a melt showed their small influence. Mechanical (acoustic) action is chosen as the main one. Formulas and values for coefficients of transformation of electromagnetic field to the acoustic one for a number of metals are given. The transformation model in the form of the wave of current running on the radiator is offered. Comparison of action of electromagnetic impulses on melts showed that emergence of acoustic vibrations is the main thing. The theory of contactless transformation of electromagnetic waves in acoustic ones is considered. Comparison with experiments is given. The model of contact electro-pulse processing of metal melts in the form of transition of an electromagnetic wave to acoustic is offered. Acoustic waves change structure of a melt, condition of a crystallization of a melt and improve properties of the hardened metal.
