Comprehensive research on a high magnetic field’s effect on diffusion is lacking; hence, this study investigates the effect of the magnetization of such a field on diffusion using a copper/cobalt diffusion couple in the diamagnetic/ferromagnetic states, respectively. The diffusion couple was formed using explosive welding to avoid diffusion during manufacturing. The diffusion couple annealed within a temperature range of 1165 –1265 K under a 0–6-T high magnetic field. The angle between the diffusion and magnetic field directions was set as 0° and then 180°. The penetration profiles of cobalt volume diffusion in the copper and grain-boundary diffusion of copper in cobalt were constructed using an electron probe micro analyzer. The high magnetic field increased the volume diffusivity of cobalt in copper, but had no evident effect on the grain-boundary diffusivity of copper in cobalt, irrespective of the magnetic field direction. An Arrhenius plot of the cobalt volume diffusivity in copper demonstrated that the applied high magnetic field enhanced diffusion by changing the frequency factor rather than the activation energy; this can be attributed to the increased diffusion entropy caused by changing the vacancy concentration, which resulted from the introduction of magnetization under a high magnetic field.

Hypoeutectic Zn–4.45 wt% Al solidified under a high magnetic field was investigated crystallographically. With the field, the primary zinc-rich β phase is distributed homogeneously and orients with thecaxis perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. These results are attributed to the magnetic viscosity resistance force and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of zinc, respectively. The orientation modification also leads to a preferential alignment of the flat-shaped primary β dendrites. Furthermore, with the field, the eutectic β phase shows an orientation character similar to that of the primary β phase. This arises from its continuous growth with the primary β phase. In addition, a specific crystallographic orientation relationship ({0001}β||{111}α, 〈1\overline 210〉β||〈110〉α) exists in some of the eutectics (between the eutectic zinc-rich β and aluminium-rich α phases). However, this orientation relationship is related to the distribution of primary β dendrites, which originates from the independent nucleation of the pseudo-primary α phase attached to the primary β dendrites.

The present studies are to investigate the microstructure features during transformation from austenite to ferrite without and with magnetic field on Fe-0.76%C alloy. It is found that the area fraction and numbers of proeutectoid ferrite grain as well as the lamellar spacing of pearlite in Fe-0.76%C alloy increased considerably with the increase of magnetic field intensity. The reason is that, the magnetic field increases the driving force of proeutectoid ferrite nuclei and shifts the eutectoid point to the side of high carbon content and high temperature, which increases the starting-temperature of the transformation from austenite to ferrite. The proeutectoid ferrite grains are elongated along the magnetic field direction, which can be explained as follows: the proeutectoid ferrite becomes the magnetic dipolar under high magnetic field, and then the polarized austenite atoms are much easier to diffuse into ferrite grains along the magnetic field direction. Key words: high magnetic field; Fe-0.76%C alloy; microstructure

A high magnetic field is a useful tool to control the crystal alignment of non-magnetic materials such as ceramics and polymers. In the case of Hydroxyapatite crystal, the a,b-axis is aligned parallel to the direction of an imposed magnetic field. This fact implies that the alignment of the c-axis is not controllable only using a high static magnetic field due to the freedom of the c-axis in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field direction. In this study, a high static magnetic field and mold rotation was simultaneously so applied during a slip casting process as to align the c-axis of HAp poly crystals.

Spherical alumina powder and dispersant were mixed with distilled and deionized water, and ball milled to make alumina slurry. The slurry was dried in a high magnetic field to make a compact. Subsequently, the compact was cold-isostatic-pressed (CIP) to enhance the homogeneity in particle packing density. Anisotropy of shrinkage during sintering was examined for the alumina compacts in detail. Particle orientation existed in the spherical alumina powder compacts prepared in 10T, and made them shrink anisotropically during sintering. Sintering shrinkage was larger in the direction parallel to magnetic field direction (i.e., the c-axis direction of alumina crystal) than that in its perpendicular direction. The particle orientation structure in the compacts was confirmed with the immersion liquid method of polarized light microscope, and the grain alignment structure in the sintered bodies was also observed with X-ray diffraction, the c-plane was perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. On the other hand, isotropic sintering shrinkage occurred in the spherical alumina powder compacts prepared in 0T, which did not hold the particle orientation. The experimental results indicate that sintering shrinkage of spherical alumina powder compact depends on alumina crystal axis direction. Origin of the sintering shrinkage anisotropy for the spherical alumina powder compacts can be attributed to the particle orientation caused by high magnetic field.

Intermediate phase growth in Mg-Al diffusion couples were studied with different intensity of a strong static magnetic field from 0 to 10 Tesla. Thickness measurement of the intermediate phases (Mg17Al12 and Al3Mg2) shows that with the increasing of magnetic field intensity, the growth rate of both intermediate phases is retarded. The decrease of the phase growth rate is ascribed to the suppressed Al, Mg atom interdiffusion in the diffusion couple under the static magnetic field. It is also found that the orientation relationship between couple interface and magnetic field direction has no influence on the growth of intermediate phases.
