The sub-rapidly solidified Au-20Sn eutectic alloys were prepared by four different solidification pathways, such as, graphite mold conventional casting, graphite mold injection casting, copper mold injection casting, and water-cooled copper mold suction casting. The precipitating sequences of competing primary phases of sub-rapidly solidified Au-20Sn alloys with four different cooling rates were investigated. The results show that phase selection process is related to the cooling rates during sub-rapid solidification process. The primary ζ'-Au5Sn phase with developed dendrites precipitate at low cooling rate (2.4×10−4.2×102K/min) and the morphologies of the primary ζ'-Au5Sn change to rosette-like at higher cooling rate (9.0×103K/min). While the cooling rate reaches to 3.5×104K/min, the primary ζ'-Au5Sn phase can be suppressed but δ-AuSn phase will precipitate prior to the ζ'-Au5Sn phase. On the basis of the classical nucleation theory and transient nucleation theory, the process of competitive nucleation between the ζ'-Au5Sn phase and the δ-AuSn phase were analyzed for sub-rapid solidified Au-20Sn alloy. The theoretical calculations are consistent with the experimental investigations.

ABSTRACTThe effect of compositional changes on the glass forming ability of Mg alloys containing Y was studied. Four rapidly-solidified Mg-alloys were investigated: Mg91Y7.5La1.5, Mg85Y12La3, Mg86Y9.5Cu2.5La2 and Mg82Y11La4Eu3. XRD and DSC spectra revealed that the Mg86Y9.5Cu2.5La2 was the most amorphous out of the investigated alloys. A model based on a spinodal-like decomposition of a supercooled liquid alloy was developed. The model provides qualitative and quantitative explanation for the variation in glass forming ability.

Series of experiments on a series of Al-Fe-Mg alloys were performed to determine the effect of rapid solidification (RS) on the material strengthening, which result from the refining of thegrain size and intermetallic compound. Additionally, an enhancement of the material strengthening due to magnesium addition was also observed. Manufacture of RS Al-Fe-Mg alloys combined a spraydeposition of the molten alloy on the rotating water-cooled copper roll and plastic consolidation bymeans of powders pressing and hot extrusion methods. The results suggest that the rapid solidification provides an effective method of microstructure refinement and, in combination with solid solutionhardening due to Mg, leads to significant improvement of mechanical properties of Al-Fe-Mg based alloys.
