Pb-Bi包晶合金定向凝固过程中带状组织的形成(英文)

采用Bridgman定向凝固技术对Pb-Bi包晶合金进行定向凝固实验,生长速度为0.5μm/s,温度梯度为35K/mm。在亚包晶和过包晶成分的Pb-Bi合金中(Pb-xBi,x=26%,28%,30%和 34%)均观察到带状组织。由于熔体对流的影响,在试样中心形成树状初生α相,周围被包晶β相基体包围。带状组织出现在树状组织后,并且该带状组织为过渡性的。测定带状组织中的成分分布,从而确定α和β两相的形核过冷度。在有限长试样中,熔体对流是形成过渡性带状组织的主要原因,该过渡性带状组织表现为有限带数,带宽不恒定,且在Pb-Bi合金的两相包晶区很宽的成分范围内出现。

Banding structure formation during directional solidification of Pb-Bi peritectic alloys

Directional solidification experiments on Pb-Bi peritectic alloys were carried out at very low growth rate (v=0.5 μm/s) and high temperature gradient (G=35 K/mm) in an improved Bridgman furnace. The banding structures were observed in both hypoperitectic and hyperperitectic compositions (Pb-xBi, x=26%, 28%, 30% and 34%). Tree-like primary α phase in the center of the sample surrounded by the peritectic β phase matrix was also observed, resulting from the melt convection. The banding microstructure, however, is found to be transient after the tree-like structure and only the peritectic phase forms after a few bands. Composition variations in the banding structure are measured to determine the nucleation undercooling for both α and β phases. In a finite length sample, convection is shown to lead only to the transient formation of bands. In this transient banding regime, only a few bands with a variable width are formed, and this transient banding process can occur over a wide range of compositions inside the two-phase peritectic region.
