Solidification of the Cu-35wt pct Fe Alloys with Liquid Separation

摘要

The microstructures of the Cu-35wt pct Fe alloys were investigated by melt-fluxing in combination with cyclic superheating and melt-spinning technique, respectively. Using the melt-fluxing with cyclic superheating technique, it was found that a complicated sub-microstructure formed in the separated minor phase, when the undercooling was 120 K (120 °C). The processes of the phase transformation from a liquid state to room temperature for undercooled Cu-35wt pct Fe alloys were discussed, in order to understand the solidification with metastable liquid separation. By means of melt-spinning technique, it was indicated that the microstructure of solidification for Cu-35wt pct Fe alloys could be refined due to the high cooling rate.
