Abstract
The impact of external longitudinal constant and pulsed magnetic fields on ESR electric modes was studied. Experiments were conducted at remelting of consumable electrodes of 70 mm dia. from commercial purity titanium VT1-0 in a copper water-cooled mould of 105 mm dia. External longitudinal magnetic field with 0.1...0.28 T induction was created by a solenoid located outside the mould. It was found that application of a constant longitudinal magnetic field leads to 12...20 % reduction of the melting current and increase of its oscillation amplitude to 15...18 %. At application of a pulsed longitudinal magnetic field reduction of melting current is of a cyclic nature, and the magnitude of its drop can reach 70...80 %. The mechanisms of the influence of a longitudinal magnetic field on ESR current are suggested, which consist in the change of the area of contact of consumable electrode with liquid slag, as a result of vibrations and sagging of the slag pool free surface.
