Abstract

Studies have been made of the microstructures developed in directionally solidified monotectic Al-In, Al-Bi and Zn-Bi alloys, as a function of growth velocity and temperature gradient. With increasing growth velocity and decreasing gradient the microstructures show transitions from regular rod-like arrangements of the lower melting point phase, through arrays of aligned droplets to coarse irregular droplet dispersions. Intermediate stages show rods with longitudinal shape perturbations of a classic Rayleigh-type instability. The changes are discussed in terms of oscillatory instabilities at the solid-liquid interface (enhanced by increasing growth velocity and decreasing temperature gradient) coupled with ripening effects in the solid + liquid region behind the interface.
