Dynamics of cluster structure change in melts that forms a continuous series of solid solutions during equilibrium and nonequilibrium crystallization

Block diagram of various types of crystallization

Abstract

The article describes the dynamics of changes in the melt structure during cooling of solid substitution solutions in the process of quasi-equilibrium (CRC) and non-equilibrium explosive crystallization (NRCC), taking into account clustering processes. The boundaries of the transition to the solid state are determined as the structure of clusters changes during crystallizations of the KRK and NRK types. The boundaries are determined taking into account the critical overheating   and pre-crystallization supercooling relative to the liquidus line . It is determined that during quasi–equilibrium crystallization, the melt changes its structure in the following sequence , and during non-equilibrium explosive crystallization - in the sequence . The phase rule is used to calculate the first crystals that appeared during various types of crystallization. Alloy cooling curves describing various types of alloy crystallization.
