The effect of a 6T high magnetic field on the microstructure of directionally solidified NiAl-Cr (Mo)-Si near-eutectic alloy was investigated at the withdrawal rates of 2, 10 and 50 μm/s. The results showed that the microstructure evolved from planar eutectic to primary NiAl dendrites + cellular eutectic and then to dendritic eutectic with the increasing withdrawal rate. When the magnetic field was imposed, the well-aligned eutectic lamellae were disturbed and transformed into a wavy one at 2 μm/s. When the withdrawal rate increased to 10 μm/s, the application of the magnetic field destroyed the primary NiAl dendrite array and caused the occurrence of columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) of the NiAl dendrites. The volume fraction of primary dendrites also decreased. In addition, the width of intercellular/interdendritic regions decreased in cellular/dendritic eutectic structures when directionally solidified under the magnetic field. The above results should be attributed to the combined action of the thermoelectric magnetic force and the thermoelectric magnetic convection.

Sn – Cd eutectic melt was first obtained in a hot filling furnace and then directionally solidified upward with different growth rate ranges (8.1–165 μm/s) at a constant temperature gradient G (4.35 K/mm) in the Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace. The lamellar spacings (λ) were measured from both transverse and longitudinal sections of the samples. The influence of the growth rate (V) on lamellar spacings (λ) and undercoolings (Δ T) was analyzed. λ2V, ΔTλ and ΔTV-0.5 values were determined by using λ,ΔT and V values. Microindentation hardness (HV) was measured from both transverse and longitudinal sections of the specimens. HV values increase with the increasing values of V but decrease with increasing λ values. λ-V, λ - ΔT and λ2V results have been compared with the Jackson–Hunt eutectic model and similar experimental results, HV - V and HV - λ results were also compared with the previous work.

The effect of a magnetic field on the frequency of transverse band formation in directionally solidified Al–Si eutectic alloy is investigated for a range of solidification speeds. The band spacing for both field and no-field ingots is found to be linearly dependent on the solidification rate, but for a given solidification speed a magnetic field of 30 000 Oe, applied perpendicular to the solidification direction, reduced the band spacing by approximately 35%. The results are explained in terms of the effects of the solidification rate and magnetic field on the impurity concentration ahead of the solid–liquid interface, a fluctuating impurity level being the direct cause of the banding phenomenon. It is shown that the magnetic-field effect on band spacing is consistent with the theories (previously published) developed to account for the observed effects of a magnetic field on alloy diffusion and solidification.
