Effects of magnetic field annealing on carburizing behavior in pure iron in the γ‐Fe temperature region were investigated. Specimens were subjected to isothermal annealing at 930 °C for 25 min with a heating rate of 5 °C /min, and then cooled in the furnace. A magnetic field with different intensity was applied during the whole heating, isothermal holding and cooling processes. The results showed that the magnetic field annealing obviously hindered the carburization in γ‐Fe in the direction parallel and anti‐parallel to the magnetic field direction and this effect increased with the enhancement of the magnetic field intensity.
