Abstract

The coalescence process has been studied in four different hyper-monotectic Zn-Bi alloys with 4–10wt % Bi . The alloys have been studied by isothermal treatments at a temperature just above the monotectic temperature and at different holding times. The alloys have been studied both at microgravity and at normal gravity. The change of the particle distribution as a function of composition and holding time has been investigated. The changing of the particle distribution has been compared with the theory of particle collision. The validity of the collision theory is investigated with respect to the theory of liquid phase sintering.
