Abstract: Heterogeneous nucleation of small wetting angle under pulsed magnetic field (PMF) was theoretically analyzed on the basis of the Ma nucleation model, with the solidification uncleation model established. The effects of magnetic induction intensity of PMF on the critical nucleation radius and critical undercooling were investigated. The results showed that Gibbs free energy of the model has nothing to do with shape coefficient of heterogeneous nucleation substrate. When the work done by magnetic pressure is the same order as solid-liquid free energy difference under low undercooling, the PMF can effectively reduce the critical uncleation radius, and the effect of the PMF on the critical uncleation radius can be ignored under high undercooling (>20℃). When the substrate size is larger, the undercooling of critical uncleation decreases with increasing magnetic induction intensity of the PMF.
