| Scope |
While many traditional metal alloys contain components which exhibit interesting magnetic behaviors (e.g. Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Cr), the linkage between magnetic characteristics and structural/mechanical properties is often ignored. Upon closer inspection, however, microstructure affects the magnetic performance of metals, and magnetic properties/processing history must be considered to fully describe the mechanical behavior and even the phase constitution of structural materials. This symposium will focus on research that demonstrates the linkages between metallurgy and magnetism, and any characterization techniques traditionally used in one field which have shed light on the other. We invite papers on the characterization and mechanical testing of magnetic alloys using traditional metallurgical techniques, and the evaluation of the magnetic properties of traditionally structural alloys.
Suitable topics for this symposium include, but are not limited to:
- Phase transformation kinetics studied using magnetic characterization
- Evaluation of magnetic symmetry or tetragonal distortion using diffraction techniques
- Effects of microstructure on magnetic hysteresis
- Material processing (especially of structural alloys) under magnetic fields
- Magnetic performance of structural alloys
- Evaluation of magnetic performance in light of advanced characterization techniques (e.g. atom probe tomography, 3D microstructure characterization)
- Mechanical performance and deformation mechanisms of magnetic alloys
- Texture development for improved magnetic performance through novel processing techniques |
