摘要
The influence of melt rotation on the microstructure formation of Nd - Fe - B alloys, mainly the volume fraction and grain size of the alpha-Fe phase, is investigated using the electromagnetic levitation technique. Molten droplets were subjected to a strong rotation during levitation and compared to fixed samples without rotation. Additionally, experiments have been carried out where sealed samples were subjected to a well-defined forced rotation. A distinct reduction of the alpha-Fe volume fraction in samples with strong rotation was observed by measuring the magnetic moment. The melt flow in a levitated droplet is studied numerically under the additional effect of a global sample rotation which may give a strong suppression of internal motions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B. V.
