Undercooled Melts
|
Melt undercooling is a great issue for the fundamental studies of non-equilibrium solidification processes with the high potential of formation of solids of metastable nature
Aims
In situ analysis of rapid solidification processes of undercooled melts
Preparation of metastable alloys and intermetallic compounds
Quenching from undercooled state to obtain novel microstructures
|
Alloys studied
Magnetic alloys and steel: Fe-Cr-Ni, Fe-Ni, Fe-Co
Eutectic alloys: Nb-Al, Nb-Ni, Ni-Si
Peritectic alloys: Co-Si, Co-Al
Superconductors: YNi2B2C, PdNi2B2C
Intermetallics: Ti-Al-Nb, Ni-Al
