RECALESCENCE BEHAVIOUR AND SOLIDIFICATION STRUCTURE OF HIGHLY UNDERCOOLED Ni-32.5%Sn EUTECTIC ALLOY

Large undercoolings up to 395K (0.28TE) are obtained for 15g samples of Ni-32.5%Sn eutectic alloy by superheating the alloy melt to 108-700K above its eutectic temperature and consequently destroying most of the inherent heterogeneous nuclei. The recalcscence phenomenon and its dependence on undercooling and on crystal nuclcation and growth, as well as its relationship to solidification microstructures are studied. The crystalli/ation fraction during recalcsccnce is also calculated. Experiments reveal that recalcscence degree increases with undercooling when the latter is below a certain critical value∧Te, but it decreases as undercooling increases above A 7'( (under present conditions∧Te= 245K, i. c. 0.17TE). The greater the recalescencc degree, the larger the proportion of anomalous eutectic in solidified structures. It is inferred that anomalous eutectic is the product of rapid solidification while lamellar eutectic forms at much slower nuclcation rate and growth velocity.

激光高速熔凝Ni-33%Sn过共晶合金组织演化

分别采用连续激光及脉冲激光高速熔凝Ni-33%Sn过共晶合金。结果表明,经连续激光熔凝后熔池内组织由α-Ni+β-Ni3Sn规则层片共晶、未完全熔化的β-Ni3Sn颗粒,以及部分重熔的β-Ni3Sn枝晶组成,经脉冲激光熔凝后熔池内为完全的α-Ni+β-Ni3Sn规则层片共晶。两种方式熔凝后,熔池内组织较基材均明显细化,随着激光扫描速度的增大,共晶层片间距逐渐减小。当激光扫描速度达到1 000 mm/s时,仍未出现规则层片共晶向非规则反常共晶组织的转变,结合TMK模型分析,同时与相同生长速度下的深过冷实验对比,揭示快速生长并非产生反常共晶形成的充分条件。
