Undercooling behavior of glass-fluxed Sb melts under gradient magnetic fields
The influence of gradient magnetic field on the undercooling behavior of glass-fluxed pure Sb melts was investigated using a superconducting magnet. It was found that under a positive gradient magnetic field, the mean undercooling of pure Sb melts increased with increasing magnetic field intensity. However, under a negative gradient magnetic field, the mean undercooling showed a decreasing tendency following an initial increase with increasing magnetic field intensity. The results were discussed by considering the Lorentz force and the magnetization force imposed by the gradient magnetic field.
