Abstract: The influences of the low frequency electromagnetic field on the horizontal direct chill casting process were investigated experimentally. Ingots of 2024 aluminum alloy with a cross size of 40 mm×200 mm were produced by the conventional horizontal chill casting process and low frequency electromagnetic horizontal chill casting processrespectively. The as-cast structures and the mechanical property of the ingots were examined. The results showed that the low frequency electromagnetic field could substantially refine the microstructures and pronouncedly reduce the macrosegregation in the horizontal direct chill casting process. Moreover, the surface quality of the ingot was prominently improved by the low frequency electromagnetic field. The fracture strength and elongation percentage of the ingot was increased with the low frequency electromagnetic field.
