Applying an electromagnetic field, a significant reduction of the porosity as well as smoothing of the surface of aluminum die casting can be observed. Starting from the reference case without an electromagnetic support, the porosity was reduced by 76 %. Especially big pores can be removed from the weld pool effectively due to their beneficial volume-to-area ratio whereas very small metallurgical pores tend to remain within the weld pool even when higher magnetic flux densities are applied.
