Abstract
The effect of a transverse magnetic field on solidification structure in directionally solidified Al-Cu-Ag ternary alloys was investigated experimentally. The results show that the application of the transverse magnetic field significantly modified the solidification structures. Indeed, the magnetic field caused the formation of macrosegregation and the transformation of the liquid/solid interface from cellular to planar. Moreover, it was found that the magnetic field refined the eutectic cell and decreased the mushy zone length. This may be attributed to the thermoelectric magnetic convection between eutectic cells.
