An experimental study on the influence of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) on the unidirectional solidification of pure aluminum is reported. The forced convection induced by PMF encourages a thermal homogenization of the liquid zone ahead of the solidification front. Meanwhile, synchronous solidification occurs under high magnetic intensity to form fine equiaxed grains in the entire ingot. The solidification time exhibits a trend of going from initial ascent to subsequent decent with increasing magnetic intensity. Finally, the solidification times of various temperature measurement points in the casting approach a convergence point at a magnetic intensity of 0.154 T, at which the finest grain size appears in the ingots. A thermodynamic expression with the application of PMF is discussed.
