Effect of Pulse Electric Discharging on Solidification Structure of High Carbon Steel Tang Yong　　Wang Jianzhong　　Cang Daqiang University of Science and Technology Beijing　Beijing　100083 ABSTRACT:Pulse electric dis (PED) was applied to high carbon steel liquid, and solidification structures with different PED treating time were observed. It is found that columnar crystal area was reduced and its growth was hindered. A new method to improve solidification was pro-posed. The columnar crystals were different in length at different intervals and problem like fading still existed after PED treatment. The mechanism that PED can improve the solidification structure was discussed but it is still subject to experimental proof. KEY WORDS:high carbon steel,pulse electric discharging,columnar crystal Introduction Improving the?solidification structure of?the ingot,?narrowing columnar crystal area,enlarging?equiaxed crystal area?and?grain refinement?can improve?the quality of ingot solidification.?There are two approaches :one category?is the?chemical method,?such as adding?inoculation?agent to the molten metal;?another kind is?the physical method,?mainly is the?oscillation method,?such as the use of?electromagnetic stirring?method,?mechanical oscillation?by ultrasonic?oscillation and?in the process of continuous casting?of steel ingot mould.?In recent years,?a new method that PED?is applied to the?solidification process?of liquid metal to?improving the quality of solidification,?making the solidification structure?refinement?to improve the?mechanical properties of metals.?From the reports in the?literature, low melting point?alloy?were studied by researchers [1?~ 4],?and the PED?is?applied?during solidification process.?The?effect of PED?on solidification structure of steel,?has not been reported.?Using the PED to the?liquid steel of 9Cr2MoV?above the melting point is the biggest difference between?this study?and?other studies,?and study the influence of?this method?on solidific
