Highly textured Zn-1.1%Al sheet was annealed in a direct-current magnetic field of 25.5 MA/m. Depending on the orientation to the field the texture components strengthened, retained their original intensity or disappeared. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of magnetically induced selective grain growth. Ó
Zinc bicrystals with 89°h1 0 1 1 0i symmetric tilt boundary inclined at different angles to the free surfaces are annealed in the field of 17 T. Boundaries migrate reorienting almost perpendicular to the surfaces. The observed effect is due to combination of magnetically induced and capillarity driven boundary migration. The absolute boundary mobility was measured to be about 2:5 Â 10 À8 m 4 /J s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
