- This paper details the work on the patented Top-coil contactless ultrasonic treatment technique, employing an electromagnetic coil to induce ultrasound in alloy melts leading to cavitation, degassing and grain refinement. The paper details proof of concept experiments, the multiphysics modelling used in designing the process, and the steps taken to validate it. The models explain how the new process can be used where traditional immersed probe techniques fail. The work is a joint venture between Greenwich, Birmingham and Oxford financed by the EPSRC (EP/P034411/1) and industrial partners (Rolls-Royce, AMG, Constellium).
