Viscous feature of Sb–Bi alloy under magnetic field

Viscosity of SbBi melts under different magnetic induction intensity was investigated by using RHEOTRONI C VIII torsional oscillation viscometer with 0–0.27 T horizontal magnetic field. The viscosity of all melts measured decreased with increasing temperature under different magnetic intensity. Furthermore, the viscosity increased as horizontal magnetic intensity enhanced. The effect of magnetic induction intensity on the viscosity of melts increased with the content of Sb in the melts. The viscosity–temperature curves can be well fitted with Equation η = η0 + AB2.
