Abstract

Abstract:

The pearlite transformation in a Mo-containing iron alloy was investigated under 12~T magnetic field. The pearlite transformation was accelerated owing to the application of a strong magnetic field. Pearlite was of degenerated morphology without the presence of a strong magnetic field; but the degeneracy of pearlite is reduced when a strong magnetic field was applied, which may be attributed to the effect of strong magnetic field on faster carbon diffusion and less molybdenum segregation caused by a strong magnetic field.

Key words: Steels, Pearlite, Phase transformation, Strong magnetic field
