Abstract :
Different environment such as temperature, electric field, magnetic field, etc, influences the mechanical properties of metals. And many researchers are working on this area to improve the properties of materials for the optimum performance. This paper reviews the electromagnetic effect on the properties of steel and copper. The studies presented in this review referred to the effects and influence of magnetic field on mild steel and copper on the basis of behaviour of magnetic field intensity (lines) inside these materials leads to the martensitic transformation in which the structure changes from Face Centered Cubic to Body Centered Cubic (FCC~BCC) lattice structure. On the other hand, if an alternating magnetic field is created around a copper wire through it for more than 20 hours, fracture toughness decreases. Increase in temperature increases the resistance which affects the performance of the metals.
