Abstract: | Results are reported on microstructures of Fe-Cr-Ni alloys, solidified over a range of undercoolings and quenched during or
after recalescence. Alloys studied contained 70 wt pct Fe and with Cr varying from approximately 15 to 20 wt pct. The three
lower Cr alloys were hypoeutectic (with fee as primary phase in equilibrium solidification); the two higher Cr alloys were
hypereutectic (with bcc as primary phase in equilibrium solidification). Results obtained are in agreement with predictions
based on thermal analyses previously presented; they confirm and extend the understanding gained in that work. The primary
phase to solidify in the hypoeutectic alloys is bec when undercooling is greater than an amount which decreases with increasing
Cr content. At the lower Cr contents, the stable fcc phase then forms by solid-state transformation of the metastable phase
and its subsequent engulfment by additional fcc. At the higher Cr content, transformation is by a peritectic-like reaction
in the semisolid state, except near the surface at higher undercoolings where the transformation is massive. In the hypereutectic
alloys, primary solidification at all undercoolings is the stable bcc phase. Partial transformation to fcc occurs in the semisolid
or solid state, depending on composition and undercooling.
