Structures and Undercooling Technology of Ag-28.1 wt.% Cu Eutectic Alloy

Abstract:

Effects of the technological parameters (superheat, cycle times and holding time) on undercooling and structure of Ag-28.1 wt.% Cu eutectic alloy were discussed by orthogonal experiment. It shows that the influence of the superheat on undercooling is biggest, followed by cycle times, and finally holding time. Then the optimum process parameters of getting different undercooling are given in this paper. In the Ag-28.1 wt.% Cu eutectic alloy melt, cellular growth of lamellar eutectics takes place because of the large difference in composition between the two eutectic phases and the very large thermal diffusion coefficient of the liquid, and when undercooling is equal to or higher than 76 K, lamellar eutectics grow in a dendritic form during rapid solidification.
