The structure of directionally solidified two-phase Sn-Cd peritectic alloys
The structure of Sn-Cd two-phase peritectic alloys directionally solidified at various values ofG/υ (temperature gradient in the liquid divided by growth rate) is reported. The minimum value of G/υ as a function ...

Solutal convection induced macrosegregation and the dendrite to composite transition in off-eutectic alloys
The effect of solute gradient induced convection during vertical solidification on the macrosegregation of Pb-rich Pb-Sn off-eutectic alloys is determined experimentally as a function of composition and growth...

Use of Metastable Phase Diagrams in Rapid Solidification
During rapid solidification, the nucleation and/or growth of a thermodynamically stable phase may be difficult. In this case the liquidus, solidus or other thermodynamic data for a metastable phase are importa...

The Effect of Rapid Solidification Velocity on the Microstructure of Ag-Cu Alloys
Electron beam solidification passes have been performed on a series of Ag-Cu alloys between 1 wt pct Cu and the eutectic composition (28.1 wt pct Cu) at speeds between 1.5 and 400 cm per second. At low growth ...

Microstructure Formation in Rapidly Solidified Alloys
In order to apply solidification theory to the interpretation of micro- structures produced by rapid solidification, several modifications are required. Different degrees of non-equilibrium occur during solidi...

An analysis of the microstructure of rapidly solidified Al-8 wt pct Fe powder
Rapidly solidified powders of Al-8 wt pct Fe exhibit four distinct microstructures with increasing particle diameter in the size range of 5 μm to 45 μm: microcellular α-Al; cellular α-Al; a-Al + Al6Fe eutectic; a...

Towards a Phase Field Model for Phase Transitions in Binary Alloys
To date phase field models have only been used to model non-isothermal phase transitions in a pure material. Here we describe recent steps which aim to extend phase field models to deal with binary alloys; a s...

Controlled Interface Roughness in GaAs/AlAs Superlattices
We report the results of our study of controlled interface roughness in low-order GaAs/AlAs superlattices. Samples were prepared using either the interrupted growth or the migration-enhanced epitaxy (MEE) tech...

Modeling of micro- and macrosegregation and freckle formation in single-crystal nickel-base superalloy directional solidification
The formation of macrosegregation and freckles by multicomponent thermosolutal convection during the directional solidification of single-crystal Ni-base superalloys is numerically simulated. The model links a...

Experimental and thermodynamic assessment of Sn-Ag-Cu solder alloys
Sn-rich alloys in the Sn-Ag-Cu system are being studied for their potential as Pb-free solders. Thus, the location of the ternary eutectic involving L, (Sn), Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5 phases is of critical interest. Phase...

Development of a freckle predictor via rayleigh number method for single-crystal nickel-base superalloy castings
A Rayleigh number based criterion is developed for predicting the formation of freckles in Ni-base superalloy castings. This criterion relies on finding the maximum local Rayleigh number in the mush, where the...

Transient liquid-phase bonding in the Ni-Al-B system
Transient liquid-phase (TLP) bonding experiments were performed using a Ni-10.3 at. pct Al alloy and a Ni-10 at. pct B filler material, and the results were compared to simulations performed using the finite-d...
