Description
Summary:In the current work, applying a rotating magnetic field (RMF) is an innovative approach to improve the microstructure features and creep resistance of Sn-2.0Ag-2.0Zn (SAZ) alloy. The results revealed that RMF does not change intermetallic compounds (IMCs) constituents furthermore SAZ alloy with applying a magnetic field (SAZ-B) exhibited microstructure refinement and homogeneous distribution of IMCs. Moreover, SAZ-B displayed more creep resistance (∼366%) and greater creep rupture time (∼56.4%) than those of SAZ alloy. These results have great implications in improving the alloy’s performance for industrial applications.
