Effect of thermoelectric magnetic force on the array of dendrites during directional solidification of Al–Cu alloys in a high magnetic field

Grain Refinement During Directionally Solidifying GCr18Mo Steel at Low Pulling Speeds Under an Axial Static Magnetic Field

“…It is commonly known that grain refinement in the absence of inoculants is generated by fragmentation of dendritic structures existing in the mushy zone [27][28][29]. Identical conclusions were obtained in the directional solidification of Al-base alloys, Pb-Sn alloys and Ni base superalloys where the CET occurred at low pulling speeds [26,[30][31][32]. Although the CET has been observed in the directionally solidified alloys mentioned above, there are relatively few studies devoted to study the CET and grain refinement in the steel at low pulling speeds with an axial static magnetic field.…”

Columnar to Equiaxed Transition during Directionally Solidifying GCr18Mo Steel Affected by Thermoelectric Magnetic Force under an Axial Static Magnetic Field

“…[15][16][17] Obviously, above-mentioned effects result in a promotion of the CET. 18) Therefore, the CET in the absence of inoculation substances was obtained in the directional solidification of Al-based alloys, 19,20) Pb-Sn alloys 18) and Ni-based superalloys 21) under axial static magnetic field (ASMF). The effect of ASMF on the CET in GCr18Mo steel during directional solidification at low growth speeds (5-20 μm/s) has also been investigated in our previous work.…”

Effects of axial static magnetic field on columnar to equiaxed transition in directionally solidified low carbon steel

“…It is obvious that the above effects can trigger the formation of the CET [17]. Recent evidences show that the CET without inoculation substances has been obtained in the directionally solidified Al-base alloys [18,19], Pb-Sn alloys [17] and Ni-based superalloys [20] under an axial static magnetic field (ASMF). Lielausis et al investigated the thermoelectric effects in the continuous casting of steel under a static magnetic field, while they mainly focused on the reduction of emergency breakdowns and concentration of silicate macroinclusions in the cental part of the ingot [21].…”
