Competition between Chemical and Gravity Forces in Binary Alloys

摘要

We present the first experimental results of the growth of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn under an external force field - during the sedimentation process. The results are compared with the proposed model under the combined influence of the Kirkendall effect, backstress and sedimentation. It is shown that Cu3Sn consumes the preformed Cu6Sn5 phase during sedimentation under a strong gravitational field of 779,000 G at 200 degrees C.
