摘要: In this paper, the microstructures of undercooled Ni that solidified at various initial bulk undercoolings are examined in detail order to understand mechanism grain refinement metallic systems. Molten contracts on solidification. experiment, since it was covered by molten glass flux, upon crystallization cavities had form accommodate rapid volume change if specimen remained contact with which could not flow so readily. The adhesiveness between and flux confirmed removing them from a furnace after whole system been cooled down room temperature. Furthermore, clear micrographs cavity formed, did collapse. It can therefore be concluded smaller grains found concentrate near void along minor axis. At still higher undercoolings, effect violent voids took irregular shapes. Again, somewhat than those further away. Accordingly, authors conclude brought about dynamic nucleation as formed.
