The Research Progress of Immiscible Alloy and Its Preparation Technology
Some research achievements of immiscible alloy preparation with dispersed and homongeneous phase structure under micro-gravity and gravity environment have been summarized. The various effective factors on solidification of the immiscible alloy including nucleation
growth-diffusion-convection/diffusion
deposition and floatation due to gravity interfacial energy
Ostwald ripping
Marangoni motion
Brownian coagulation
the content of second phase and cooling rate are pointed. The unidirectionally solidified microstructures of the alloy are evolved from regular fibrous compound structure to regular array of in-droplets and then to random dispersion of in-droplets in the matrix. The varieties of preparation technology
including powder metallurgy
uni-directional solidification
simulated casting method under microgravity condition
stirring casting
rapid solidification
have been introduced based on the solidification characteristics. Meanwhile
the application of computer simulation for immiscible alloys including the dynamic density method
discrete particle method and phase field method has been shown. The problems and the future orientation in immiscible alloys have been also pointed out.
