Results indicated that the high magnetic field Received in revised form caused the irregularity and break of the primary dendrite. As the applied magnetic field increased, the 24 June 2015 primary dendritic spacing increased. Further, the Seebeck voltage near the liquid–solid interface was Accepted 30 June 2015 measured at various growth speeds. It was found that the Seebeck voltage decreased as the growth speed Available online 3 July 2015 increased. The above results may be attributed to the thermoelectric magnetic force (TEMF) imposed on Keywords: the solid. The primary dendrite fragments, surrounded by the peritectic phase, whi
