Liquid-Phase Separation of Undercooled Fe-Cu-Si Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Liquid phase separation occurred in undercooled Fe-Cu alloys when the undercooling of the melt exceeds a critical value. 5at.% of Si was added into Cu50Fe50 alloy to investigate its effect on the liquid phase separation of Fe-Cu alloys in this paper. It indicated that the addition of Si could enhance the liquid-phase separation in Cu50Fe50 alloy. Additionally, with the increase of undercooling, second liquid-separation occurred in Fe-rich liquids, and many globular, tadpole and peanut-like morphology emerged in the Fe-rich region of Fe45Cu50Si5 alloy. Because of the mixing enthalpy of Fe-Si atomic pairs is more negative than that of Cu-Si atomic pairs; so Si is inclined to rich in Fe-rich region.
