Extract

Relationships between melt heat treatment and undercooling of alloy melts were clarified with Bi95Sb5 through four-factor, three-level orthogonal experiments. The results show that the cooling rate plays the most important role in the undercooling of Bi95Sb5 alloy melts. Undercooling as large as 121 K was obtained in the bulk Bi95Sb5 alloy melt. It is presently the highest undercooling of this alloy system. A metastable phase with tetragonal structure was found in the Bi95Sb5 alloy with undercooling of 121 K.
