ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus having improved efficiency for forming a semi-solid alloy slurry. A molten metal in a containing device is mixed electromagnetically by a moving, non-zero magnetic field provided over substantially all of a solidification zone within the containing device. The magnetic field causes the shearing of dendrites formed in the solidification zone at a desired shearing rate. The magnetic field is generated by a device supplied with current at a desired line frequency. By operating within a defined range of line frequencies, a desired shear rate for attaining a desired cast structure at reduced levels of power consumption and current can be achieved.
