Example 1
A method of casting a homogenized copper alloy ingot, comprising the steps of:
s1, alloy melting: adding Al-4.5wt% Cu alloy to be smelted into a crucible for induction heating; before heating, removing and cleaning dust and greasy dirt on the surface of Al-4.5wt% Cu alloy to be smelted, drying with hot air or preheating in an oven to remove water gas, starting induction smelting equipment, measuring temperature by using a thermocouple, and preserving heat for 20min when the temperature reaches 800 ℃.

S3, starting a magnetic field: before casting, placing the preheated die into a magnetic field center area, starting a steady magnetic field, adjusting voltage and current to enable the intensity of the steady magnetic field to be 0.2T, cooling by water before starting the magnetic field, and protecting the cylindrical space inside the magnet;
s4, layered temperature measurement: after the magnetic field is started, casting Al-4.5wt% Cu alloy liquid after smelting into a mould, wherein the mass of each layer is 300g, the casting layer number is 4 layers, the mass of a single layer is controlled through a weight sensor in the process, the time interval between the layers is controlled through a paperless recorder, the temperature measuring position is selected at the edge of the mould and is 10mm away from the air layer, and the casting time of the layers is selected from the time required for lowering to liquidus after the casting is started.

Example 2
The same as in example 1, except that the steady magnetic field strength was 0.3T.
Comparative example
The difference is only that the steady magnetic field strength is 0T, as in example 1.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of layered casting under a magnetic field and a cooling profile of a cast four-layer ingot in example 1.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing macrosegregation of layered cast ingots under different magnetic field strengths, and it is known that the segregation degree of Al-4.5wt% Cu alloy obtained by the method of the present invention is significantly lower than that of the comparative example.
