深过冷Ni-Sn合金非规则共晶的形成机制

采用熔融玻璃净化配合循环过热使Ni-32.5%Sn(质量分数)共晶合金实现了深过冷快速凝固.当过冷度大于某一临界值时,非规则共晶在凝固组织中出现.随着过冷度的提高,最终得到完全的非规则共晶组织.通过分析Ni-Sn共晶合金中各相形核、生长、以及枝晶熔断机制随过冷度的变化,解释了非规则共晶的形成机制.在深过冷条件下熔体中初生相率先形核并长入过冷熔体中,形成枝晶骨架,再辉重熔后次生相从残余熔体中析出并包围初生相,形成非规则共晶.

为了揭示多元合金中的枝晶生长规律,采用电磁悬浮技术实现了Ni-10%Cu-10%Si三元合金的深过冷与快速凝固,实验中合金熔体获得的最大过冷度为236K。对合金快速凝固过程中初生相-αNi的枝晶生长速度测定结果表明,其与过冷度之间存在幂函数关系:V=1.6×10-13ΔT5.7。当ΔT较小时,随着ΔT的增加V增加缓慢,当ΔT较大时,随着ΔT的增加V迅速增加。对比分析表明,溶质Si对-αNi枝晶的生长影响显著,而溶质Cu则几乎没有影响。随着过冷度的增加,未发现-αNi相的微观形态从枝晶向等轴晶转变,但-αNi晶粒尺寸均随着过冷度的增加而急剧细化。

深过冷Ni—Sn共晶合金的快速凝固机制

本文通过净化法使 Ni-32.5wt-%Sn 共晶合金液获得深过冷,对该合金液在不同过冷条件下的凝固机制和组织进行了研究。结果表明:当过冷度小于约10K 时,该合金液凝固生成 Ni_3Sn相和 Ni(α)相层片共晶。在深过冷条件下,由于 Ni_3Sn 枝晶的自由生长速度远大于 Ni(α)枝晶的自由生长速度,再辉过程中,Ni_3Sn 相和 Ni(α)相不能以匹配方式生长,而由 Ni_3Sn 相作为领先相以枝晶簇方式生长。再辉过程中形成的枝晶簇,其内部 Ni_3Sn 枝晶进一步熔断粗化及 Ni(α)相在Ni_3Sn 枝晶间形成生长,最后形成非规则共晶组织。当过冷度小于130K 时,再辉之后,枝晶簇间存留有较大体积的成分仍为 Ni-32.5wt-%Sn 的合金液,这部分合金液在共晶平台阶段以层片共晶方式凝固,所以试样内部的组织由非规则共晶区和层片共晶区组成。

Verification of metastable phase diagrams byin situ measurements on undercooled melts

The electromagnetic levitation technique combined with pyrometric methods have been applied to verify the metastable phase diagram of Fe Cr Ni alloys byin situ observation of phase selection processes in undercooled melts. The temperatures of levitated drops prior to solidification were determined by a two-color pyrometer and the recalescence behavior of the undercooled melt was recorded from a high-speed photosensing device with a sampling rate of 1 MHz. Fe₆₉Cr₃₁ ,Ni, alloy melts with different Cr/Ni ratios were investigated for undercooling levels up to 320 K. The transition from single- to double-recalescence behavior was found beyond a critical undercooling level for primary austenitic alloys with Cr Ni < 1.5. For the first time, this gives direct evidence of metastable phase formation in this alloy system fromin situ observations. The dendrite growth velocity displayed a sudden drop at the critical undercooling level, confirming the metastable phase formation. The intermediate arrest temperature of the double-recalescence event fits well with the calculated metastable liquidas line derived from a subregular solution model for the Gibbs free energy.Paper presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, June 27–29, 1995, Köln, Germany.

Growth kinetics in levitated and quenched Nd-Fe-B alloys

We investigated the growth kinetics and the effect of quenching conditions on rapid solidification of undercooled Nd-Fe-B melts with compositions near the Nd-₂-Fe₁₄-B (2-14-1) phase. We prepared melt drops of various undercooling levels (up to 300 K below the liquidus temperature) were prepared by the electromagnetic levitation method and subsequently quenched them onto chill substrates. We measured the solidification kinetics of the undercooled melts in situ using a high-resolution Si photodiode. In accordance with the nucleation theory, the properitectic γ-Fe phase nucleates at first during the undercooling process. There were two different solidification routes, with the observed route depending on the undercooling level of the levitated melt prior to quenching. The peritectic reaction is favored in melts with high undercooling levels prior to quenching. Low previous undercooling levels lead to primary solidification of the 2-14-1 phase on quenching. The thickness of the homogeneous 2-14-1 phase zone, grown directly at the substrate side, depends strongly on the undercooling level prior to solidification. We estimated the growth velocity of the 2-14-1 phase from temperature-time-characteristics to be of the order of 1 mm/s. These investigations give rise to improved understanding about the high sensitivity of the microstructure of Nd-Fe-B alloys on different rapid solidification procedures     

Effects of initial undercooling on microstructure formation and recrystallisation of undercooled melts

The critical undercoolings for the two grain refinement events and the onset of recrystallisation event are determined by detailed analysis of the microstructure evolution of bulk undercooled Ni–20?at.-%Cu alloy melts. The first grain refinement event occurred in the low undercooling range was explained by dendrite remelting. The second grain refinement event occurred in the high undercooling range was due to the combined effects of dendrite remelting stress-induced dendrite breakup during recalescence and recrystallisation during the near-equilibrium solidification stage after recalescence. The micro-stress induced by the solidification contraction during recalescence in the so called ‘first mushy zone’ would lead to distortion and breakup of primary dendrites. The stress-induced broken-up dendrites have sufficient driving force for recrystallisation.     

Directional solidification velocity of undercooled Cu70Ni30 alloy melt

The directional dendrite growth velocity in the Cu70Ni30 alloy melt undercooled by 90 similar to 185 K was measured by high speed cinematography, and compared with the calculated free dendrite growth velocity. It was found that at lower undercoolings the interaction between the adjacent directionally growing dendrites is weak, and there is not marked difference between the velocity of the directionally growing dendrite and that of free dendrite. But with undercooling increasing, the interaction is enhanced due to the decrease of the primary arm spacing, which makes the velocity difference enlarges quickly.
