Metastable solidification pathways of undercooled eutectic CoSi–CoSi2 alloys
Source abstract
Abstract
Solidification and growth behavior of undercooled eutectic CoSi–CoSi2 melts was observed using containerless levitation and in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques. Three metastable solidification pathways of eutectic CoSi–CoSi2 were determined as a function of undercooling. Upon double recalescence at low undercoolings the primary and secondary phases are CoSi and CoSi2, while at high undercoolings the phase formation sequence is reversed. At intermediate undercoolings a single recalescence was observed and attributed to a crossover of the nucleation barriers for the two phases. Scanning electron microscopy combined with electron back-scattering diffraction measurements revealed changes of the morphological characteristics and orientation of CoSi and CoSi2 phases for different solidification pathways.
