Abstract: We performed unidirectional solidification experiments on TbFe2 alloy in a static magnetic field in microgravity of 10−4g for 10 sec obtained by a 490 m free fall of the Japan microgravity center (JAMIC). When the magnetic field strength was increased from zero to 4.5 × 10−2 T during unidirectional solidification in microgravity, a [1 1 1] crystallographic alignment dominated, and the maximum magnetostriction constant increased from 1,000 ppm to 4,000 ppm. For unidirectional solidification in normal gravity, the maximum magnetostriction constant remained at 2,000 ppm with increasing magnetic field. The columnar structure grows and orients along the magnetic field. TbFe2 crystals grow in microgravity predominantly in the same direction as the magnetic field.
