Dilatation measurements for the study of the α/γ transformation in pure iron in high magnetic fields

چکیده
Magnetic field processing is a new promising tool for the structural and functional control of materials. A significant potential exists for tailoring microstructures and impacting kinetics of phase transformation in steels. A high magnetic field modifies the Gibbs free energy. As a result, the phase diagram is shifted upwards so that the Ac1 and Ac3 temperatures increase as the magnetic field is increased. In this work, a new device for the heat treatment and in situ control of the transformation is described. For the first time, a dilatation measurement is used to study the shift of the ferrite/austenite equilibrium in high magnetic field up to 16 T and to quantify the ferrite concentration during the transformation. Experimental results for the transformations in pure iron are presented. Comparisons are made with the expected values based on the Weiss molecular field model near the Curie point.

High temperature dilatation measurements by in situ laser interferometry under high magnetic field.
This article contains a description of a laser interferometer coupled with a furnace for in situ dilatation measurements under high magnetic field. The apparatus fits an 18 T superconducting magnet with a 32 mm diameter room temperature bore. This optical method was chosen for dilatation measurements because it is not perturbated by the magnetic field. The measured sample can be heated up to 15...
