Columnar-to-equiaxed transition during directional solidification under strong magnetic field
Effects of strong magnetic fields on the columnar-to-equiaxed transition(CET)have been investigated experimentally.Experimental results show that the application of a strong magnetic field causes a dendrite fragmentation and then the CET.The thermoelectric magnetic force acting on cells/dendrites and equiaxed grains in the mushy zone has been studied numerically.Numerical results reveal that a torque is created on cells/dendrites and equiaxed grains and the value of the thermoelectric magnetic force increases as the magnetic field intensity increase.This torque breaks cells/dendrites and drives the rotation of equiaxed grains.As a consequence,the CET will occur during directional solidification under a strong magnetic field.This may initiate a new method to induce the CET via an applied strong magnetic field during directional solidification.
