In paper is presented problem concerning inoculation of pure aluminium structure, which is realized mainly by intensification of liquid metal movement in mould. In aim of realization of forced movement during the crystallization of liquid metal was used rotate electromagnetic field, which is generated by induction coil fed with frequency of supply voltage from 25 to 100Hz. Effect of structure refinement obtained by influence of electromagnetic field was compared with refinement obtained by use of traditional inoculation, which consists in introducing of additions in form of titanium and boron to metal bath.
