The experiment results indicate that the morphology of α-Ni phase and the distribution of Pb element in undercooled Ni-20%Pb alloys change with the increase of undercooling. The main evolution mechanisms of α-Ni are dendrite remelting and recrystallization. Pb phase in the microstructure of Ni-20%Pb hypermonotectic alloy originates from L2 phase separated from the parent melt during the cooling process through immiscible gap and L′2 phase formed at the temperature of monotectic transformation.
