The improved production efficiency of heat treatable Al alloys, as the result of applied electromagnetic field during continuous casting process was investigated. The mechanical characterization of continuous casted Al-alloys EN AW 2007 and En AW 2024 was done on testing machine Zwick/Roell Z 100. The microstructure of as-cast samples was examined, as well. The results have shown that low frequency electromagnetic field significantly influenced the microstructure and mechanical properties of as cast ingots, and thus through increased castings quality, operation time and energy savings, the production efficiency was improved.
