Abstract

Using examples, old and recent, from the metallurgical literature, we examine the sources of metastable behavior in binary and ternary alloy systems that are subjected to cooling rates in the order of K/min to K/s. Because the metastability invariably involves enhanced unstable or suppressed stable crystalline phases, the key to this behavior must be sought in the crystallization kinetics.

Abstract

Mit Hilfe von älteren und jüngeren Beispielen aus der metallkundlichen Fachliteratur werden die Ursachen des metastabilen Verhaltens binärer und ternärer Legierungen bei Abkühlungsgeschwindigkeiten in der Größenordnung 1 K/min bis 1 K/s untersucht. Der Schlüssel zu diesem Verhalten, bei dem instabile kristalline Phasen stabilisiert bzw. stabile Phasen unterdrückt werden können, muss in der Kinetik der Kristallisationsvorgänge gesucht werden.

Keywords: Metastable alloys; Cooling rate; Crystallization

Dedicated to Professor Dr. Helmut Kronmüller on the occasion of his 70th birthday
