Abstract

The influence of a high magnetic field on the formation of ferrite in high purity Fe-0.52C (mass%) during austenite to ferrite transformation was studied. Results show that magnetic field can reduce the amount of Widmanstätten ferrite by enhancing the transformation driving force and make the ferrite grains elongate and align along the field direction.
