This paper reviews the current applied research of the pulsed electromagnetic field in the metallurgical
area of solidification, plastic deformation and electro-deposition. The possibilities of developing the field applications
are analyzed when viewing from the processes of the metallurgy industry. It covers refining grain in the
solidification process under the pulsed electromagnetic field, rolling of the thin plate deformation with the help of
the electro-plastic effects by the pulsed power supplies and pulsed plating of pure metals or alloys onto the surface
of the running steel strip.
