Solidification processing of eutectic alloys; Proceedings of the Symposium, Cincinnati, OH, Oct. 12-15, 1987

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6231808

The papers presented in this volume address the effect of solidification processing variables, such as cooling rate, nucleation hierarchy, and the faceted or nonfaceted nature of the constituent phases, on the eutectic morphology and resulting properties. Topics discussed include the current status of the modeling of eutectic growth and directional solidification experiments on a variety of alloys, such as aluminum foundry alloy A 356, Si- and GaAs-based eutectics for electronic applications, and Cu-Al in-situ composites. Particular attention is given to undercooled and rapidly solidified alloys, including classical simple alloys, such as Pb-Sn as well as more complicated alloys such as Nb-Si, alumina-zirconia, and Cr90Ta10.
