Grain Refining and Microstructural Modification during Solidification.

Abstract

This is the third annual report of a research program to study grain refining and microstructural modifications during solidification, as affected by supercooling, solidification rate, and/or inoculation. The report covers results of the current investigations on the structure and phase transformations in Chromium-Nickel alloys (part A), and the final report on the grain refining in copper by the addition of iron and electromagnetic stirring (part B). High temperature phase transformations in Cr-Ni binary alloys were evaluated using microstructural, thermal, and TEM analyses of levitation melted binary alloys. The effect of iron additions in the range of 0.57 to 7.5 w/o and electromagnetic stirring o the grain size of electromagnetically levitated copper-iron alloys were investigated.
