Diffusion-controlled mechanical property-enhancement of Al-20wt.%Si ribbon annealed under high static magnetic fields, from the microscale to the atomic scale

Al-20wt.%Si hypereutectic alloys were designed in order to study how a high static magnetic field (HSMF) during annealing affected the microstructure evolution, atomic diffusion, and resultant mechanical properties from the microscale to the atomic scale. Our results indicate that the size of the primary silicon particles (PSPs) increased with increasing temperature, while it decreased with increasing magnetic flux density (MFD). The solid...
