Abstract
Application of electromagnetic force to materials processing, so called Electromagnetic Processing of Materials (EPM) has been recognized as a cutting edge technology, especially in the fields of advanced materials processing. The background to promote EPM is described. The present state of EPM is given through a brief introduction of several examples of the applications of a high frequency magnetic field, a DC magnetic field, DC magnetic and electric fields, and a traveling magnetic field. Furthermore, a high static magnetic field has been applied to generate compression waves in molten metals. As other examples of the application of a high static field, the crystal orientations in thin films in vapordeposition and electrodeposition processes and those in carbon fibers in a graphitization process are described. Finally the future view of EPM is revealed.Keywords
