Effects of an Alternating Magnetic Field/Ag Multi-Alloying Combined Solidification Process on Cu?14Fe Alloy.

ABSTRACT: An alternating magnetic field (AMF)/Ag multi-alloying combined process was applied to the solidification of Cu?14Fe alloy to study its effects on the microstructure and properties of the resulting samples. The applied AMF and Ag multi-alloying had positive effects on the refinement of the primary Fe phase and precipitation of Fe solute atoms, respectively. These results indicated that the combined AMF/Ag multi-alloying process was effective to improve the distribution of the primary Fe phase and reduce the Fe content of the Cu matrix, which increased the conductivity of the alloy. The application of the combined AMF/Ag multi-alloying process to the solidification of Cu?Fe alloy provided samples with improved comprehensive properties compared with those of samples solidified using a single process (AMF or Ag multi-alloying).
