The morphologies of intermetallic phases (IMCs) during directional solidification the Sn-Cu (L+Cu3Sn→Cu6Sn5) and Sn-Co (L+CoSn→CoSn2) peritectic systems were analyzed. primary Cu3Sn Cu6Sn5 in alloy are IMCs whose solubility ranges narrow, while both CoSn CoSn2 nil equilibrium condition. experimental results before acid corrosion shows that dendritic morphology can be observed. investigation on ...

We simulate cellular and dendritic growth in directional solidification in dilute binary alloys using a phase-field model solved with adaptive-mesh refinement. The spacing of primary branches is examined for a wide range of thermal gradients and alloy compositions and is found to undergo a maximum as a function of pulling velocity, in agreement with experimental observations. We demonstrate tha...
