Melt Spinning Technique

Rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-21Si was prepared by the single roller melt-spinning technique. The microstructure morphology characteristics and phase structures of the alloy were characterized using SEM, TEM and XRD technique. The results showed that the grains were refined and the micro-nano composite structures were formed under rapid solidification. The microstructure of the Al-21Si alloy was composed of micro-nanostructured α-Al phase and feather-needle-like eutectic α-Al+β-Si phase. The α-Al phase was the leading phase in the eutectic α+Si phase. The nucleation and growth of primary silicon are suppressed and primary silicon could not be precipitated. The hypereutectic Al-21Si alloy showed the hypoeutectic solidification microstructure. Wear resistance was improved obviously when the rapidly solidified and was five times higher than that of the traditional casting alloys.

Morphology Characteristics

In the present work, rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys strips was prepared by single roller melt-spinning method. The microstructures, phase and morphology characteristics of the resultant strips were characterized by means of SEM, TEM and XRD technique. The results show that the grains are refined after rapid solidification processing, and the micro-nanocrystals are formed. Compared with equilibrium solidification, the microstructures are changed obviously. The nucleation and growth of primary silicon are suppressed and primary silicon can not deposited, meanwhile, α-Al phase is nucleated which prior to eutectic. Therefore, the microstructures become into the metastable state. The microstructures of the strips are composed of primary micro-nanostructure α phase and feather-needles-like (α+Si) eutectic which set in the α phase. The mechanism of the formation for microstructures of melt-spinning Al–Si alloy have also been discussed.

Morphology Characteristics

In the present work, rapidly solidified alloys strips with Al-0.24Ti and Al-21Si-0.24Ti(in wt.%) were prepared by single roller melt-spinning method. The microstructures, phase and morphology characteristics of the resultant strips were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM),transmission electric microscopy (TEM) and XRD technique. The results show that the grains have been refined after rapid solidification processing, and the micro-nanocrystalline grain are formed. The morphology characteristics can be changed. The microstructures of Al-0.24Ti alloys strip are micro-nanostructure α-Al solid solutions which are similar with granular or nodular, the corresponding SAD pattern is rings, it presents characteristic of polycrystal; Compared with equilibrium solidification, the microstructures of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy are changed obviously. They are composed of primary micro-nanostructure α-Al supersaturated solid solution and nanocrystal granular (α+Si) eutectic which set in the supersaturated solid solution. The nucleation and growth of primary silicon are suppressed and primary silicon can not precipitate, meanwhile, α-Al phase is nucleated which prior to eutectic, therefore the microstructures become into the metastable state. The mechanism of the formation for microstructures of melt-spinning alloys has also been discussed.

Melt Spinning Technique

Tin-bismuth alloy ribbons were produced using melt-spinning technique. The two main surfaces (in contact with the rotating wheel and exposed to the air) were characterized with Optical Microscopy and AFM, revealing that the surface exposed to the air is duller (due to a long-range heterogeneity) than the opposite surface. Also the XPS chemical composition revealed many differences between them both on the corrosion extension and on the total relative amounts of tin and bismuth. For instance, for the specific case of an alloy with a composition Bi-4 wt % Sn, the XPS atomic ratios Sn/Bi are 1.1 and 3.7 for the surface in contact with the rotating wheel and for the one exposed to air, respectively, showing, additionally, that a large segregation of tin at the surface exists (nominal ratio should be 0.073). This segregation was interpreted as the result of the electrochemical process yielding the corrosion products.

<p>In this work, Al-11Fe, Al-7Fe-4Ni and Al-7Fe-4Cr (in wt. %) alloys were prepared by combination of casting and hot extrusion. Microstructures of as-cast alloys were composed of aluminium matrix with large and coarse intermetallics such as Al<sub>13</sub>Fe<sub>4</sub>, Al<sub>13</sub>Cr<sub>2</sub> and Al<sub>5</sub>Cr. Subsequently, as-cast alloys were rapidly solidified by melt-spinning technique which led to the supersaturation of solid solution alloying elements. These rapidly solidified ribbons were milled and compacted by hot-extrusion method. Hot-extrusion caused that microstructures of all alloys were fine with uniform dispersed particles. Moreover, long-term thermal stability was tested at temperature 300 °C for as-cast and hot-extruded alloys and chromium was found to be the most suitable element for alloying to improve thermal stability.    </p>

A study of direct strip cast copper-beryllium alloys is of interest to determine if enhanced properties could be obtained from rapidly solidified material compared to those of conventionally processed material. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize the as-cast microstructure of this material and to study the metastable phases which formed in this alloy as a result of precipitation from the rapidly quenched condition.The melt spinning technique was used to produce ribbons of a copper-beryllium alloy of nominal composition Cu-1.90wt% Be containing 0.25 wt% cobalt. The as-cast ribbon was approximately 0.1 mm thick and 12 mm wide. The Metglas Products Division of Allied Corporation provided the material. As-cast specimens were salt bath aged at 370 C for 5 min or 3 hours. Thin foils for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were prepared from the melt spun ribbons by electrolytically thinning in a twin-jet electropolisher using a solution of 30% nitric acid in methanol at -30 C and 25 volts. The specimens were examined in a Siemens 102 transmission electron microscope operating at 125 kV.

Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and Vickers microhardness (Hv); were used to characterize the phase transformation and the microstructure evolution. The results contribute to the understanding of the microstructure evolution in alloys of the type prepared by melt spinning technique. This work reports on a comparative study of the rapidly solidified, in order to compare the microhardness and microstructural analysis.
