“…It is widely recognized that a high magnetic field can exert three effects on a system, that is, Lorentz force, magnetic force and magnetization. On the basis of these three effects, investigations on non-or unidirectional solidification under high magnetic fields have shown that high magnetic fields can induce aligned microstructures [6][7][8]; change the equilibrium partition coefficient [9,10], phase transformation temperature [11,12] and the distribution of solute elements [13,14]; decrease the diffusion coefficient [15,16]; and induce thermoelectromagnetic convection [17,18].…”
