Abstract

Effect of a transverse magnetic field on the chemical diffusion (interdiffusion) characteristics between Al–10 at.% Si metallic melts and pure Al melts has been investigated experimentally. Results show that the application of a weak transverse magnetic field has evidently decreased the diffusivity of solute atoms and retarded the interdiffusion process. This effect can be attributed to the combined suppression action of interior Hall Effect and Lorentz force on the atoms mobility.
