The electromagnetic problem can be treated separately from the fluid flow in the low magnetic Reynolds number approximation.
(3) Where n is the turn number of the electric solenoid per unit height and I is the current intensity in the electric solenoid.
However, as it was shown in Fig.6b, applying A-EMS gave rise to the fine and equiaxed grains.
As shown in Fig.4a and Fig.5a, the shear flow is the main part and a large temperature difference in the slurry leads to the formation of coarse solidification grain structures.
(3) Compared with those obtained by the ordinary electromagnetic stirring, the microstructures obtained by A-EMS are fine with equiaxed grains instead of dendritic and exhibited uniform distribution in the eutectic matrix.

This is due to its hexagonal closed packed (hcp) structure which provides a limited number of independent slip systems.
In addition, milling is one of the most effective methods for mechanically reducing grain size and producing nanocrystalline powders.
X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded with the X`Pert Pro from PANalytical (Netherlands) to obtain information about the number and nature of the phases.
The width of the diffraction peaks was utilized to determine grain (crystallite) size and the amount of microstrain of the magnesium matrix in the mechanically milled nanocomposite powders.

The results showed that by being increased the rolling reduction, the equiaxed grains were obviously elongated along the rolling direction.
While the lowest hardness was found at the BM where the effect of welding heat so that recrystallization grain of microstructure was observed.
Vickers Hardness Number (VHN0.1) vs Distance to weld center (mm) Tensile Strength.
SEM images of fracture surfaces of impact tests was dimple fracture and there are a number of porosity as depicted in Fig. 9.
Observation of OM micrograph at the base metal (BM) demonstrated that grain being thin chip of αAl oriented toward the rolling direction can be seen in Fig 10 (b), while that of HAZ demonstrated coarser αAl grain (a) that may be caused by the effect of weld heat resulting in recrystallization or annealing.

There are a great number of manufacturing methods of Cu-C, including the following:
- Cu-C as a bulk material: microwave sintering, hot-pressing, spark plasma sintering, cold pressing, hot-isostatic pressing, liquid infiltration and diffusion bonding; and,
- Cu-C as layers: microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition and tape casting.
Another, particularly important feature of this method is that electric current-assisted sintering of powder materials does not alter the microstructure of the sintered materials and does not cause grain growth and their agglomeration [16].
When this dose increases, hardness decreases, due to the growing number of pores in the carbon phase.
The copper grains are oblong, and they are arranged perpendicular to the direction of pressure during the sintering process.
Particular copper grains are surrounded by the carbon phase, the thickness of which is increased in line with the amount of graphene in the composite.

Fig. 1 shows the grain size curve of steel slag with a fr. of 0/8 mm, which was obtained by sieving 2,600 g of steel slag through a set of screens with a square mesh size of: 0.063; 0.125; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 1.6; 2; 4; 5.6; 8; 10 and 12.5 mm.
The proportion of fine particles sifted through the 0.063 mm screen is 5.7%; the mean grain diameter is d50=1.3 mm and was determined as the mean grain diameter d50 corresponding to the value of 50% of the siftings weight.
For example, the value of 0 on the X-axis corresponds to a grain size fraction of 0/0.063 mm, representing 5.87% of the weight of the sample; 0.063 corresponds to a grain size fraction of 0.063/0.125 mm, representing 7.83% of the weight of the sample; 0.125 corresponds to a grain size fraction of 0.125/0.25 mm, representing 9.73% of the weight of the sample, etc.
The proportion of grain size of steel slag with a fr. of 8/10 mm is 1.09% of the weight.
According to CSN 73 1322 [28], concrete is frost-resistant for such a number of cycles during which the coefficient of frost resistance does not drop below 75%.

At higher potentials the nucleation rate increases faster than the step propagation rate and the electro-deposition of each layer proceeds with the formation of a large number of nuclei.
The surface is characterised from a background regulated surface consisting in grains of almost 2 µm.
The morphology of the polymer coatings is uniform and characterized by a cauliflower-like structure constituted by microspherical grains with different sizes.
