Recent achievements of the texturing and grain boundary engineering (GBE) by magnetic fieldapplication have been introduced. The versatility and high potential of magnetic field application havebeen effectively utilized as non-contacting processing for the control of texture and grain boundarymicrostructures to endow polycrystalline materials with high performance and excellent bulk properties. Ithas been confirmed by experiments that various types of magnetic processing can be applied to ferrousand nonferrous materials. Grain boundary-related metallurgical phenomena and bulk properties inpolycrystalline materials have been proved to be well controlled by magnetic field application.
