Comparative Analysis of Austenitized Steel Microstructures Due to Induction and Conventional Heating in High Magnetic Field
Abstract
While magnetic field-assisted processing shows promise in improving alloys’ mechanical properties, insufficient descriptions of heating methods hinder development of tailored processing pathways. This study investigates how induction and conventional heating affect microstructures of near-eutectoid Fe–C steel with and without 9 T magnetic field. Conventionally heated samples in field showed more austenite grain growth compared to inductively heated counterparts. Annealing twin frequency increased under field, with twin density increases not fully explained by larger grain sizes.
