Effects of the electromagnetic stirring（EMS） on the solidification microstructure and properties of the Cu-10 Fe alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the EMS can effectively refine the grain in Cu-10 Fe alloy and reduce the supercooling degree of melted alloy

resulting in the formation of dendritic Fe phase instead of spherical Fe phase before the alloy enters the immiscible temperature region of the metastable liquid components. When the EMS current is 300 A

the Fe dendrites are broken and the Fe phases solidified firstly are separated to ingot surface by centrifugal force of violent rotating and stirring

resulting in the significant macrosegregation. Moreover

EMS has little influence on the conductivity of Cu-Fe ingot in the range of 21.46～22.04 MS/m. However

the fragmentation and refinement of electromagnetic stirring is contributed to the strengthening of the mechanical properties of Cu-10 Fe alloy during drawing. In conclusion

the electromagnetic stirring current of Cu-10 Fe alloy should not be too large

and 150 A is a reasonable parameter to improve the Cu-10 Fe ingot quality.
