| Abstract Scope |
This research explored the effect of induction-coupled thermomagnetic processing on the solution and aging treatments in aluminum and ferrous alloys. The applied magnetic field hastened solution and aging kinetics, while also achieving improved strength and toughness via microstructural refinement. The resultant processing parameters reduced energy consumption by decreasing furnace times and employing induction heating in place of conventional resistive heating. Several commercial aluminum alloys and model ferrous alloys were investigated, and the microstructural and mechanical property results will be presented.
