Effects of out-phase electromagnetic field on as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of the 7075 aluminum alloy ingot were investigated by macro-microstructure observation and tensile testing. The results reveal that out-phase electromagnetic field can convert coarse heterogeneous feathery grain into fine equiaxed ones
greatly improving the microstructure in the 7075 alloy. Tensile strength of the 7075 alloy ingot is closely related to density of the microstructure and porosity(gas hole) . Tensile strength of the alloy ingot with compact and porosity-free feathery grain is remarkably superior to that of ones with low compact and high porosity equiaxed grain. Out-phase can effectively improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of the ingot.
