Magnetically enhanced recrystallization in an aluminum alloy

The recrystallization behaviour of cold rolled (71%) aluminum alloy 3103 was investigated by measuring the crystallographic texture and grain microstructure during heat treatment at 288, 310 and 330 °C in a magnetic field of 17 T. The results demonstrate that the recrystallization kinetics is substa...

Description
Summary:The recrystallization behaviour of cold rolled (71%) aluminum alloy 3103 was investigated by measuring the crystallographic texture and grain microstructure during heat treatment at 288, 310 and 330 °C in a magnetic field of 17 T. The results demonstrate that the recrystallization kinetics is substantially accelerated by the application of a magnetic field.
