Recent Progress in Research of Metal Melt Structure

Abstract:

This article reviews the research methods and research progress of metal melt structures at home and abroad in recent years. Through liquid XRD, synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction experiments, X-ray fine structure absorption spectroscopy, sensitive physical property testing and other experimental methods, as well as computer simulations, a lot of information about the structure of metal melts has been obtained. These studies are liquid-solid The structural transformation, the improvement of alloy structure and performance, and the preparation of amorphous provide theoretical guidance.
