Computer simulation of the growth of intermediate phases in a complex metallic system

The technique and results of computational experiment on the contact melting in a two-component system with an intermetallic compound have been considered. The possibility of existence of metastable states in the liquid interlayer has been assumed. The conditions under which the parabolic law of growth of the liquid-interlayer extension is obeyed and the liquid-interlayer concentration field fits the equilibrium phase diagram have been clarified. Results of the simulation and real experiment have been compared.
