Abstract

The influence of the rotating magnetic field (RMF) on the solidification process of Pb-Sn binary alloys is studied by comparing the solidification microstructures under the common condition and RMF condition. It is found that the RMF can completely eliminate the gravity induced macrosegregation, and result in dendrite fragmentation and promote solute diffusion velocity. These differences are regarded as the effect of complicated melt flow caused by RMF. Moreover, when the content of the primary phase is small, many spherical microstructures form under the RMF condition. The analyses indicate that these special microstructures are likely the conjunction action of melt flow and concentration and temperature field uniformity caused by RMF.
