High Cr white irons with various fractions of primary dendrite have been prepared through the modification of their chemical composition. Increasing C and Cr contents decreased the primary dendrite fraction. Eutectic solidification occurred with the phase fraction ratio of austenite: M7C3 = 2.76:1. The measured primary dendrite fractions were similar to the calculated results. ThermoCalc calculation successfully predicted fractions of M7C3, austenite, and M23C6. Conventional heat treatment at high temperature caused a destabilization of austenite, releasing it’s solute elements to form M23C6 carbide. Precipitation of M23C6 during destabilization preferentially occurred within primary (austenite) dendrite, however, the precipitation scarcely occurred within austenite in eutectic phase. Thus, M23C6 precipitation by destabilization was relatively easy in alloys with a high fraction of primary dendrite.

Quinary AlCoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) is one of the most studied alloys in the recent decade due to its outstanding properties. However, it is still far from becoming an applicable industrial alloy. To our understanding, in order to promote this, the role of elements, constituting the quinary alloy, needs to be defined. Knowing the role of each element, modification of the quinary alloy toward minimization of its disadvantages will be possible. In the current research, we shed some light on this subject, presenting a thorough investigation of the microstructure (carried out using scanning and transmission electron microscopy) and mechanical properties, performed by microhardness and fractography post small punch test (SPT), of five equiatomic quaternary alloys, constituting the quinary system, namely: CoCrFeNi, AlCoFeNi, AlCoCrNi, AlCoCrFe, and AlCrFeNi. CoCrFeNi (i.e., w/o Al) was found to be Face Centered Cubic (FCC) solid solution, exhibiting relatively low micro-hardness and ductile fracture post SPT measurement. AlCoFeNi (i.e., w/o Cr) was essentially single phase B2. Other alloys had a mixed BCC + B2 dual phase content with variable microstructures and sizes of particles. The fine microstructure of the alloy without Ni implies eutectic solidification or spinodal decomposition. This fine microstructure imposed remarkable high hardness though the alloy was too brittle and unmachinable. Among the BCC/B2 mixture alloys, Fe and Co-less ones resembled the most quinary AlCoCrFeNi in terms of microstructure and mechanical properties.

In the one-dimensional solidification of a binary alloy undergoing shrinkage, there is a relative motion between solid and liquid phases in the mushy zone, leading to the possibility of macrosegregation; thus, the problem constitutes an invaluable benchmark for the testing of numerical codes that model these phenomena. Here, we revisit an earlier obtained solution for this problem, that was posed on a semi-infinite spatial domain and valid for the case of low superheat, with a view to extending it to the more general situation of a finite spatial domain, arbitrarily large superheat and both eutectic and non-eutectic solidification. We find that a similarity solution is available for short times which contains a boundary layer on the liquid side of the mush–liquid interface; this solution is believed to constitute the correct initial condition for the subsequent numerical solution of the full non-similar problem, which is deferred to future work.
