The effect of undercooling on grain structure is investigated in pure nickel, Ni 75Cu 25, and DD3 singlecrystal superalloy by employing the method of molten salt denucleating combined with thermal cycling. Meanwhile,
a comparison of factors that may be related to structure formation is performed and the difference in the refined structure
between Ni 75Cu 25 alloy and DD3 single-crystal superalloy is explained. Only one grain refinement occurs at the critical undercooling in pure
nickel, whereas two take place at both low and high undercoolings in Ni 75Cu 25 and DD3 single-crystal superalloy melts. The first grain refinement at low undercoolings mainly originates from dendrite
remelting driven by the chemical superheating produced in recalescence, and the second one at high undercoolings is due to
the recrystallization process as a result of the high stress provided in the rapid solidification after high undercooling.
Dislocation morphology evolution in as-solidified structure is also provided by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
technique to further verify the recrystallization mechanism. 相似文献

The solidification behavior of undercooled Fe-Cr-Ni melts of different compositions is investigated with respect to the competitive
formation of δ-bcc (ferrite) and γ-fcc phase (austenite). Containerless solidification experiments, electromagnetic levitation melting and drop tube experiments
of atomized particles, show that δ (bcc) solidification is preferred in the highly undercooled melt even at compositions where δ is metastable. Time-resolved detection of the recalescence events during crystallization at different undercooling levels
enable the determination of a critical undercooling for the transition to metastable bcc phase solidifcation in equilibrium
fcc-type alloys. Measurements of the growth velocities of stable and metastable phases, as functions of melt undercooling
prior to solidification, reveal that phase selection is controlled by nucleation. Phase selection diagrams for solidification
processes as functions of alloy composition and melt undercooling are derived from two types of experiments: X-ray phase analysis
of quenched samples and in situ observations of the recalescence events of undercooled melts. The experimental results fit well with the theoretical predictions
of the metastable phase diagram and the improved nucleation theory presented in an earlier article. In particular, the tendency
of metastable δ phase formation in a wide composition range is confirmed. 相似文献

Fe-Co alloy melts with Co contents of 10, 30, and 60 at. pct were undercooled to investigate the dependence of the primary
phase on grain coarsening. A pronounced characteristic is that the metastable fcc phase in the Fe-10 at. pct Co alloy and
the metastable bcc phase in the Fe-30 at. pct Co alloy will primarily nucleate when undercoolings of the melts are larger
than the critical undercoolings for the formation of metastable phases in both alloys. No metastable bcc phase can be observed
in the Fe-60 at. pct Co alloy, even when solidified at the maximum undercooling of Δ T = 312 K. Microstructural investigation shows that the grain size in Fe-10 and Fe-30 at. pct Co alloys increases with undercoolings
when the undercoolings of the melts exceed the critical undercoolings. The grain size of the Fe-60 at. pct Co alloy solidified
in the undercooling range of 30 to 312 K, in which no metastable phase can be produced, is much finer than those of the Fe-10
and Fe-30 at. pct Co alloys after the formation of metastable phases. The model for breakage of the primary metastable dendrite
at the solid-liquid interface during recalescence and remelting of dendrite cores is suggested on the basis of microstructures
observed in the Fe-10 and Fe-30 at. pct Co alloys. The grain coarsening after the formation of metastable phases is analyzed,
indicating that the different crystal structures present after the crystallization of the primary phase may play a significant
role in determining the final grain size in the undercooled Fe-Co melts. 相似文献

The effects of undercooling (AT) from 10 to 175° on grain structure were observed in a Cu + 2 wt pct Sn alloy, in which grain
refinement does not occur at large degrees of under-cooling. Quenching soon after recalescence retained transient grain structures
not previ-ously reported in the literature. Crystal multiplication by dendrite fragmentation occur-red when undercooling below
the liquidus lay in the range △ T
= 10 to 70°, and resulted in complete grain refinement in the range △ T = 50 to 70°. Fragmentation affected primary, secondary and tertiary dendrite arms during and after recalescence. At △ T = 70° a sharp transition occurred to a radiating fan-shaped structure of twin-related grains ori-ginating from a single point
of nucleation, with no evidence of fragmentation. It is pro-posed that the transition results from a change in the free dendritic
growth mode, the new shape being a wholly primary form without side-arms. The absence of fragmentation in this range (△ T > 70°) suggests that self-buckling contributes to fragmentation in the other range (△ T < 70°) and could be at least equal in importance to remelting.

Phase selection and microstructure evolution in nonequilibrium solidification of ternary eutectic Fe 40Ni 40B 20 alloy have been studied. It is shown that γ-(Fe, Ni) and (Fe, Ni) 3B prevail in all the as-solidified samples. No metastable phase has been found in the deeply undercooled samples. This is
explained as resulting from the size effect of undercooled solidification. At small and medium undercoolings, the dendrite
γ-(Fe, Ni) appears as the leading phase. This is ascribed to the existence of the skewed coupled growth zone in FeNiB alloy.
With increasing undercooling, the amount of dendrites first increases and then decreases, accompanied by a transition from
regular eutectic to anomalous eutectic. The formation mechanisms of the anomalous eutectics are discussed. Two kinds of microstructure
refinement are found with increasing undercooling in a natural or water cooling condition. However, for melts with the same
undercooling, the as-solidified microstructure refines first, and then coarsens with an increasing cooling rate. The experimental
results show that the nanostructure eutectic cell has been obtained in the case of Ga-In alloy bath cooling with an initial
melt undercooling of approximately 50 K (50 °C). 相似文献

High-speed optical temperature measurements were made of the solidification behavior of levitated metal samples within a transparent
glass medium. Two undercooled Ni-Sn alloys were examined, one a hypoeutectic alloy and the other of eutectic composition.
Recalescence times for the 9 mm diameter samples studied decreased with increasing undercooling from the order of 1.0 second
at 50 K under-cooling to less than 10 −3 second for undercoolings greater than 200 K. Both alloys recalesced smoothly to a maximum recalescence temperature at which
the solid was at or near its equilibrium composition and equilibrium weight fraction. For the samples of hypoeutectic alloy
that recalesced above the eutectic temperature, a second nucleation event occurred on cooling to the eutectic temperature.
For samples which recalesced only to the eutectic temperature, no subsequent nucleation event was observed on cooling. It
is inferred in this latter case that both the α and β phases were present at the end of recalescence. The thermal data obtained
suggest a solidification model involving (1) dendrites of very fine structure growing into the melt at temperatures near the
bulk undercooling temperature, (2) thickening of dendrite arms with rapid recalescence, and (3) continued, much slower recalescence
accompanying dendrite ripening. 相似文献

The crystal growth behavior of a semiconductor from a very highly undercooled melt is expected to be different from that of
a metal. In the present experiment, highly pure undoped Si and Ge were undercooled by an electromagnetic levitation method,
and their crystal growth velocities ( V) were measured as a function of undercooling (Δ T). The value of V increased with Δ T, and V=26 m/s was observed at Δ T=260 K for Si. This result corresponds well with the predicted value based on the dendrite growth theory. The growth behaviors
of Si and Ge were found to be thermally controlled in the measured range of undercooling. The microstructures of samples solidified
from undercooled liquid were investigated, and the amount of dendrites immediately after recalescence increased with undercooling.
The dendrite growth was also observed by a high-speed camera. 相似文献

Adopting a fluxing purification and cyclic superheating technique, Co-10 wt pct Si and Co-15 wt pct Si alloys had been undercooled to realize rapid solidification in this work. It was investigated that the solidification modes and microstructures of Co-Si alloys were deeply influenced by the undercooling of the melts. Both alloys solidified with a near-equilibrium mode in a low undercooling range; the peritectic reaction occurred between the primary phase and the remnant liquids, and it was followed by the eutectic reaction and eutectoid transformation. With the increase of undercooling, both alloys solidified with a nonequilibrium mode, and the peritectic reaction was restrained. As was analyzed, a metastable Co 3Si phase was found in Co-10 wt pct Si alloy when a critical undercooling was achieved. 相似文献

Using an electromagnetic levitation facility with a laser heating unit, silicon droplets were highly undercooled in the containerless
state. The crystal morphologies on the surface of the undercooled droplets during the solidification process and after solidification
were recorded live by using a high-speed camera and were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The growth behavior of
silicon was found to vary not only with the nucleation undercooling, but also with the time after nucleation. In the earlier
stage of solidification, the silicon grew in lateral, intermediary, and continuous modes at low, medium, and high undercoolings,
respectively. In the later stage of solidification, the growth of highly undercooled silicon can transform to the lateral
mode from the nonlateral one. The transition time of the sample with 320 K of undercooling was about 535 ms after recalescence,
which was much later than the time where recalescence was completed. 相似文献

The solidification of undercooled Ti 3Sn melts was investigated using electromagnetic levitation and electrohydrodynamic atomization experiments followed by extensive
microstructural char- acterization. The study was motivated by several reports on the kinetic preference for the body- centered
cubic (bcc) phase over more closely packed disordered and ordered structures during competitive crystallization from undercooled
melts. At low undercoolings, Ti 3Sn melts yield the equilibrium ordered hexagonal DO 19 structure, which is retained without change upon cool- ing. Undercoolings between ~100 and ~300 K yield primary dendrites
with hexagonal sym- metry but a final microstructure which is clearly martensitic in origin. Two previously unknown metastable
forms of Ti 3Sn were identified: an ordered base-centered orthorhombic derived from the α martensite and an ordered monoclinic phase related
to the face-centered orthorhombic martensite observed in the Ti-V system. Both phases are believed to evolve from the solid
state transformation of a high temperature β phase, but the dendritic structure clearly indicates the formation of a hexagonal
phase different from DO 19, i.e., α. The latter forms in preference to β, which has a larger driving force in at least part of the undercooling regime studied.
It is proposed that the primary α transforms to β as a consequence of recalescence, which subse- quently transforms martensitically
and orders to yield the observed metastable forms of Ti 3Sn. 相似文献

Solidification of undercooled Ni-25 wt pct Sn alloy was observed by high-speed cinematography and results compared with optical
temperature measurements. Samples studied were rectangular in cross-section, and were encased in glass. Cinematographic measurements
were carried out on samples undercooled from 68 to 146 K. These undercoolings compare with a temperature range of 199 K from
the equilibrium liquidus to the extrapolated equilibrium solidus. At all undercoolings studied, the high-speed photography
revealed that solidification during the period of recalescence took place with a dendrite-like front moving across the sample
surface. Spacings of the apparent “dendrite” were on the order of millimeters. The growth front moved at measured velocities
ranging from 0.07 meters per second at 68 K undercooling to 0.74 meters per second at 146 K undercooling. These velocities
agree well with results of calculations according to the model for dendrite growth of Lipton, Kurz, and Trivedi. It is concluded
that the coarse structure observed comprises an array of very much finer, solute-controlled dendrites. 相似文献

The accepted primary mechanism for causing macrosegregation in directional solidification (DS) is thermal and solutal convection
in the liquid. This article demonstrates the effects of under-cooling and nucleation on macrosegregation and shows that undercooling,
in some cases, can be the cause of end-to-end macrosegregation. Alloy ingots of Pb-Sn were directionally solidified upward
and downward, with and without undercooling. A thermal gradient of about 5.1 K/cm and a cooling rate of 7.7 K/h were used.
Crucibles of borosilicate glass, stainless steel with Cu bottoms, and fused silica were used. High undercoolings were achieved
in the glass crucibles, and very low undercoolings were achieved in the steel/Cu crucible. During under-cooling, large, coarse
Pb dendrites were found to be present. Large amounts of macrosegregation developed in the undercooled eutectic and hypoeutectic
alloys. This segre-gation was found to be due to the nucleation and growth of primary Pb-rich dendrites, continued coarsening
of Pb dendrites during undercooling of the interdendritic liquid, Sn enrichment of the liquid, and dendritic fragmentation
and settling during and after recalescence. Eutectic ingots that solidified with no undercooling had no macrosegregation,
because both Pb and Sn phases were effectively nucleated at the start of solidification, thus initiating the growth of solid
of eutectic composition. It is thus shown that undercooling and single-phase nucleation can cause significant macrosegregation
by increasing the amount of solute rejected into the liquid and by the movement of unattached dendrites and dendrite fragments,
and that macrosegregation in excess of what would be expected due to diffusion transport is not necessarily caused by convection
in the liquid. 相似文献

Proposed grain refinement mechanisms during ultrasonic solidification have been explained in terms of refinement between cavitation enhanced nucleation and fragmentation of dendrites according to the casting conditions. Solidification studies also describe the activation of nucleation under pressure pulses after bubble implosion as an additional supporting mechanism for grain refinement. This study clarifies some overlooked concepts and proposes a plausible grain refinement mechanism explaining the role of cavitation in pure Zn and a Mg–6 wt pct Zn alloy. Equivalent grain size and grain density have been obtained in pure Zn and the Mg–6 wt pct Zn alloy (grain size distribution ranging from 40 to 200 µm) when UST was applied after the onset of solidification. These fine, non-dendritic grains originate from the cavitation zone beneath the sonotrode. Significant thermal undercooling surrounding the low superheat sonotrode in contact with the melt is responsible for the formation of a solidified layer (typically the thickness is equivalent to the average grain diameter) at the sonotrode–melt interface. High-frequency vibrations with or without cavitation at this interface assist the separation of these fine grains, which are then carried into the melt by acoustic streaming. A possible mechanism for the separation of fine grains produced from the cavitation zone is explained with the help of established concepts reported for the ultrasonic atomization process. 相似文献

Small liquid Ge droplets (0.3–0.5 mm diameter) have been undercooled 150–415 ± 20° C below Tm in B 2O 3 flux before solidifying to the diamond cubic phase. A correlation was found between initial undercooling and final grain size. Droplets undercooled <300°C exhibited a coarse grain structure. At greater undercoolings, the grain size became progressively finer. This correlation may be subsidiary to the dependence of grain size on interfacial undercooling. Ge droplets lightly doped with Sn solidified dendritically for undercoolings greater than 250°C. Twinned dendrites have been observed at small undercoolings (~ 10°C) in other experiments. It appears that larger interfacial undercoolings are necessary to grow the twin-free dendrites which we have observed. The correlation between grain size and the presence of dendrites suggests that the grain refinement observed in Ge samples undercooled > 300°C stems from dendritic break-up during solidification. 相似文献

The solidification behavior of undercooled Fe-Cr-Ni melts is analyzed with respect to the competitive formation of body-centered
cubic (bcc) phase (ferrite) and face-centered cubic (fcc) phase (austenite). The activation energies of homogeneous nucleation
and growth velocities for both phases as functions of undercooling of the melt are calculated on the basis of current theories
of nucleation and dendrite growth using data of thermodynamic properties available in the literature. As model systems for
numerical calculations, the alloys Fe-18.5Cr-11Ni forming primary ferrite and Fe-18.5Cr-12.5Ni forming primary austenite under
near-equilibrium solid-ification conditions are considered. Nucleation of the bcc phase is always promoted in the under-cooled
primary ferrite alloy, whereas the barrier for bcc nucleation falls below that for fcc nucleation for large undercooling in
primary austenite alloys. With rising undercooling, tran-sitions of the fastest growth mode were found from bcc to fcc and
subsequently from fcc to bcc for the primary ferrite forming alloy and from fcc to bcc for the primary austenite forming alloy.
The results of the calculations provide a basis for understanding contradictory experi-mental findings reported in the literature
concerning phase selection in rapidly solidified stainless steel melts for different process conditions.

The selection of the primary solidifying phase in undercooled stainless steel melts is theoretically analyzed in terms of
nucleation theory. Nucleation phenomena are considered using different models for the solid-liquid interface energy. The classical
nucleation theory for sharp interfaces and an improved modification, the diffuse interface theory, are applied. The influence
of deviations of the nucleus composition from the overall alloy composition is also revealed. A preferred nucleation of the
metastable bcc phase in fcc equilibrium solidification-type alloys is predicted. The critical undercooling of metastable crystallization
as a function of alloy composition is calculated for an isoplethal section at 69 at. pct Fe of Fe 69Cr 31-x

The dendrite growth velocity has been determined for tin in melts undercooled as much as 40°C (approximately twice the maximum
undercooling reported previously). The results can be represented approximately as V = 0.8 (ΔT)
