The non-uniform temperature field, composition field and stress field during solidification of the aluminum alloy melt are one of the major factors contributing to such problems. Along with the oversize of the ingot casting size, the temperature difference between the central part and the edge part of a melt in the casting process is increased, liquid cavities are deeper, the flow is complex, alloy elements cannot be uniformly distributed on the metallurgical size under the non-equilibrium solidification condition, the temperature distribution of the front edge of a solid-liquid interface is inconsistent with the temperature gradient, the grain growth speed is inconsistent, the growth lap joint of dendritic crystals in a pasty zone and the flow of an intercrystalline liquid phase are influenced by various factors, and finally the problems of coarse and uneven ingot casting structure, segregation, looseness, cracking and the like are caused.

However, as the size of the ingot increases, the electromagnetic field applied outside the crystallizer is severely attenuated, and the uniformity improvement of the temperature field and the component field in the melt stirring process is greatly limited. Chinese patent CN 106623832B discloses a method for treating an alloy melt by directly immersing an electromagnetic processor in the alloy melt and applying an electromagnetic field from the inside of the melt, wherein the magnetic field attenuation is reduced and the internal and external temperature uniformity of the large-volume melt can be remarkably improved due to stirring treatment from the inside to the outside of the melt, and the method can realize the preparation of an aluminum alloy cast ingot with the specification of phi 800 mm.
