Abstract

Here, the microstructural evolution of Fe-6.5 wt.% Si alloy during rapid solidification was studied over a quenching rate of 4 × 10 ⁴ K/s to 8 ×10 ⁵ K/s. The solidification and solid-state diffusional transformation processes during rapid cooling were analyzed via thermodynamic and kinetic calculations. The Allen-Cahn theory was adapted to model the experimentally measured bcc_B2 antiphase domain sizes under different cooling rates. The model was calibrated based on the experimentally determined bcc_B2 antiphase domain sizes for different wheel speeds and the resulting cooling rates. Good correspondence of the theoretical and experimental data was obtained over the entire experimental range of cooling rates. Along with the asymptotic domain size value at the infinite cooling rates, the developed model represents a reliable extrapolation for the cooling rate > 10 ⁶ K/s and allows one to optimize the quenching process.

Microstructures of surface-melted alloys. [Rapid solidification]

Conference Follstaedt, D.M. ; Picraux, S.T.

The microstructures formed by rapid melting and solidification of surface alloys on metal substrates are described for fast laser and electron beam heating. Primary emphasis is placed on developing a general perspective on the materials science of rapid solidification. Surface melting produces controllable and calculable thermal histories, which allow quantitative evaluation of kinetic and thermodynamic alloy parameters affecting the microstructures produced by rapid solidification. The heating and cooling rates obtainable with surface melting (up to 10/sup 10/ K/s) allow faster quenching regimes to be examined. The wide range of microstructures which can be accessed by surface melting is illustrated inmore »« less
Investigation of structural and magnetic properties of rapidly-solidified iron-silicon alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures

Journal Article Jayaraman, T. V. ; Meka, V. M. ; Jiang, X. ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

In this work, we investigated the ambient temperature structural properties (~300 K) and the ambient and high temperature (up to 900 K) direct current (DC) magnetic properties of melt-spun Fe-x wt.% Si (x = 3, 5, & 8) alloys. The wheel surface speeds selected for the study were 30 m/s and 40 m/s. The thickness, width, lattice parameter, saturation magnetization (MS), and intrinsic coercivity (HCI) of the melt spun ribbons are presented and compared with data in the literature. The ribbons produced at the lower wheel surface speed (30 m/s) were continuous having relatively uniform edges compared to the ribbonsmore »« less

Investigation of structural and magnetic properties of rapidly-solidified iron-silicon alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures

Journal Article Jayaraman, T. V. ; Meka, V. M. ; Jiang, X. ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

Here we investigated the ambient temperature structural properties (thickness, width, microstructure, and lattice parameter), and the ambient and high temperature (up to 900 K) direct current (DC) magnetic properties—saturation magnetization (M _S) and intrinsic coercivity (H _CI)—of rapidly-solidified (melt-spun) Fe-x wt.% Si (x = 3, 5, & 8) alloys. The wheel surface speeds selected for the study were 30 m/s and 40 m/s. The ribbons produced at the lower wheel surface speed (30 m/s) were continuous having relatively uniform edges compared to the ribbons produced at the higher wheel surface speed. The thickness and the width of the melt-spun ribbonsmore »« less

Effect of wheel speed on magnetic and mechanical properties of melt spun Fe-6.5 wt.% Si high silicon steel

Journal Article Ouyang, Gaoyuan ; Jensen, Brandt ; Tang, Wei ; ... - AIP Advances

Here, Fe-Si electric steel is the most widely used soft magnetic material in electric machines and transformers. Increasing the silicon content from 3.2 wt.% to 6.5 wt.% brings about large improvement in the magnetic and electrical properties. However, 6.5 wt.% silicon steel is inherited with brittleness owing to the formation of B2 and D0 ₃ ordered phase. To obtain ductility in Fe-6.5wt.% silicon steel, the ordered phase has to be bypassed with methods like rapid cooling. In present paper, the effect of cooling rate on magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe-6.5wt.% silicon steel is studied by tuning the wheel speedmore »« less

Amorphous and nanocrystalline phase formation in highly-driven Al-based binary alloys

Thesis/Dissertation Kalay, Yunus Eren

Remarkable advances have been made since rapid solidification was first introduced to the field of materials science and technology. New types of materials such as amorphous alloys and nanostructure materials have been developed as a result of rapid solidification techniques. While these advances are, in many respects, ground breaking, much remains to be discerned concerning the fundamental relationships that exist between a liquid and a rapidly solidified solid. The scope of the current dissertation involves an extensive set of experimental, analytical, and computational studies designed to increase the overall understanding of morphological selection, phase competition, and structural hierarchy that occursmore »« less
