Direct nucleation and growth of peritectic phase induced by substantial undercooling condition
2013

Peritectic phase forms through peritectic transformation in most cases. Here we predicted theoretically a growth mechanism transition from peritectic transformation to the direct nucleation and growth of peritectic phase during rapid solidification. To demonstrate this experimentally, liquid Cu–Sn alloy was undercooled by up to 268K (0.31TL). Once the undercooling exceeds a critical value of about 220K, peritectic η phase forms directly from the metastable liquid phase by suppressing the nucleation of primary ε phase and peritectic transformation. As undercooling increases in the range below 201K, the primary ε phase is refined and peritectic transformation is promoted.
