Influence of the rate of cooling on the formation of non-equilibrium eutectics in preeutectic alloys of the AL-SI system
Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 15 (2021), Issue 8, pg(s) 331-333
Computer experiments were carried out with a simulation model of alloy crystallization in this work. The model was preliminarily calibrated for alloys of the Al-Si system. The presence of a non-equilibrium eutectic in pre-eutectic alloys with a silicon content of 1.0% – 1.6% has been detected. The minimum cooling rates at which the formation of an eutectic in these alloys is possible have been determined.
