摘要
The effect of the high magnetic field(MF)on the distribution of solute concentration during directional solidification of Al-Cu alloy under low growth speed was experimentally investigated.The amount of nonequilibrium eutectic is quantified via X-ray computed tomography(XCT)and demonstrated to reduce with the application of MF.Further,experimental results reveal that the MF alleviates the microsegregation and increases the average Cu concentration in solid solution,leading to the increases of the effective partition coefficient ke.It was also found that Cu concentration in solid solution increases continuously with the increasing intensity of MF,following the strengthening of micro-hardness.The change of ke under the MF is demonstrated to attribute to the thermoelectric magnetic convection(TEMC)in the mushy zone and the thermoelectric magnetic force(TEMF)acting on the solid.The TEMC is supposed to cause secondary convection owing to the inequality in flow velocities of circulation in different positions of dendrite stem.And the vacancies created by the proliferation and movement of dislocations induced by TEMF in the matrix is supposed to be able to capture solute atoms and thus enhance the solute concentration in the solid solution.
