Methods of numerical simulation are applied to investigate the electrophysical effects in the border zones of the phases, which are formed due to the passage of an electric current through the volume of a metal melt with inclusions of conductivity other than the conductivity of the matrix. Some possibilities to change the crystallization incentives of the liquid metal system subject to electric current treatment are shown. Qualitative and quantitative patterns in the processes of the formation of surface effects at the phase boundaries are established. This is due to their orientation relative to the streamlines and different conductances of the phase and of the matrix. The stufied electric current effect changes the shape, size, and orientation of the growing phases in the melt.
Keywords: melt, electric current treatment, nanoscale particle, crystallization ability, energy factors.
