Based on a high-speed photographic system, experiments on three-dimensional free jets of liquid metal in the absence of a magnetic field and in a horizontal magnetic field have been carried out to observe the process of liquid GaInSn jet breakup and droplet formation in an oxygen-free environment with a maximum We of 400 and a maximum Ha of 30. From the results on jet morphology, surface disturbance, and breakup length, we analyzed the characteristics of jet breakup. In the absence of magnetic field, the jet shows nine different morphologies, and the surface disturbance shows two forms:expansion wave and sinusoidal wave; with the increase of We, the disturbance amplitude first decreases and then increases, and the breakup length first increases and then decreases. When a horizontal magnetic field is imposed, the jet shows four typical morphologies, with the leading edge of the jet being flattened in the direction of the vertical magnetic field line and elliptical along the magnetic field line. As the Ha number increases, the jet break length tends to increase overall, but decreases in some operating conditions. The results of this paper have enriched the phenomenon of liquid metal jets under magnetohydrodynamic effects.
