The transition from 3D to 2D lithium deposition can be achieved with low Li-ion concentrations by forming a multitude of lithium nuclei on the lithium surface prior to the deposition using a nucleation pulse followed by pulsed galvanostatic deposition. Under these conditions, homogeneous lithium metal deposition is favored by the diffusion-controlled mass transfer to the nuclei-enriched surface.
Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) analysis, isothermal solidification experiment and Thermo-Calc simulation were employed to investigate solidification characteristics of K417 G Ni-base superalloy. Electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) was employed to analyze the segregation characteristics. Liquidus,solidus and the formation temperatures of main phases were measured. In the process of solidification,the volume fraction of liquid dropped dramatically in the initial stage, while the dropping rate became very low in the final stage due to severe segregation of positive segregation elements into the residual liquid. The solidification began with the formation of primary γ. Then with solidification proceeding, Ti and Mo were enriched in the liquid interdendrite, which resulted in the precipitation of MC carbides in the interdendrite. Al accumulated into liquid at the initial stage, but gathered to solid later due to the precipitation of γ/γ’ eutectic at the intermediate stage of solidification. However, Co tended to segregate toward the solid phase. In the case of K417 G alloy, combining DSC analysis and isothermal solidification experiment is a good way to investigate the solidification characteristics. Thermo-Calc simulation can serve as reference to investigate K417 G alloy. 相似文献
