“…It has been reported based on thermodynamic considerations that the application of a magnetic field significantly affects the phase diagrams of the binary Fe-C system 11,12) and Fe-Fe 3 C system. 13) In addition, the influence of the magnetic field on the morphologies of various phases such as proeutectoid ferrite, [14][15][16] pearlite 17,18) and proeutectoid cementite 19,20) has been investigated. However, the influence of the magnetic field on the formation of cementite is not yet well understood, although cementite is the most important carbide in Fe-C alloys.…”
