Abstract
The action of high-density pulsed currents (109 A/m2) leads to the appearance of the electro-plastic effect in metal products. It is proposed to use magnetic pulse treatment of nonmagnetic plates by electromagnetic inductors with a U-shaped magnetic circuit for local flow pulsed currents in the nonmagnetic plates. The work aims to establish an influence of a ferromagnetic platform with nonlinear magnetic permeability on pulsed eddy currents and magnetic pressure of nonmagnetic metal plates with different electrical conductivity in modeling magnetic pulse treatment of welded joints to achieve the electro-plastic effect. Numerical simulation of pulsed electromagnetic fields by the finite element method is used. The current calculation in the inductor's winding is performed by solving the equations of the magnetic field and the electric circuit equations for a discrete-time interval. A power source is a capacitor that is charged to a specific voltage. To study the effect of the ferromagnetic platform on eddy currents and forces in a nonmagnetic plate with its different electrical conductivity, the same pulsed current in the inductor's winding is used. The dependence of amplitude values of eddy current density and magnetic pressure on the surfaces of nonmagnetic plates of different electrical conductivity is investigated. The influence of the presence and absence of a ferromagnetic platform and its electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability on the values of eddy currents and magnetic pressure in the nonmagnetic plate have been studied.
