Primary dendrite growth of Ni<Subscript>3</Subscript>Sn intermetallic compound during rapid solidification of undercooled Ni-Sn-Ge alloy

Liquid Ni-31.7%Sn-2.5%Ge alloy was highly undercooled by up to 238 K(0.17TL) with glass fluxing and drop tube techniques.The dendritic growth velocity of primary Ni3Sn compound shows a power-law relation to undercooling and achieves a maximum velocity of 380 mm/s.The addition of Ge reduces its growth velocity as compared with the binary Ni75Sn25 alloy.A structural transition from coarse dendrites into equiaxed grains occurs once undercooling exceeds a critical value of about 125 K,which is accompanied by both grain refinement and solute trapping.The Ni3Sn intermetallic compound behaves like a normal solid solution phase showing nonfaceted growth during rapid solidification.

Theoretical study on Fe-Al clusters: geometric structure, bonding law and electronic structures

Structures of the small Fe-Al clusters with different atom proportion are calculated using the B3LYP method in density functional theory (DFT). Calculated results show that the Al atoms lose electrons easily while the Fe atoms capture electrons easily. The most stable geometry is the bonding between Fe and Fe atoms and between Fe and Al atoms with the largest possibility, and the cluster stability law with the same atom proportion accords with the change of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy and the entropy of cluster system. Moreover, the electronic structure study of the ground-state Fe3Al and Fe2CrAl clusters shows that the substitution of Cr atom for the Fe atom located at the next neighboring site of Al atom reduces localized electrons not only between Al atom and the next neighboring Cr atom, but also between Al atom and the nearest neighboring Fe atom. Although the substitution increases the plasticity and the magnetism of intermetallic compound, the stability of the system slightly decreases. Our theoretical results agree well with the experimental results.     

Analysis of EET on Ca increasing the melting point of Mg17Al12 phase

The present investigation showed that the additions of Ca to the alloy AZ91 were mainly dissolved into the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase and increased its melting point and thermal stability, which would have great effects on the high-temperature properties of AZ91 alloy. The empirical electron theory (EET) of solid and molecules was used to calculate the valence electron structures (VES) of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ intermetallic compound with and without Ca addition. The results showed that Ca dissolving in Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase increased the strength of bonds that control the thermal stability of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase. Additions of Ca also made the distribution of the valence electrons on the dominant bond network more uniform in the whole unit cell of Mg₁₇Al₁₂. The theoretical conclusions well account for the experimental results.
