A radial temperature gradient on the sample was established by heating from centre with a single heating wire and cooling the outside of sample at -10 degrees C with a heating/refrigerating circulating bath containing an ...

Sn-Bi-Zn lead free solder alloy was directionally solidified upward at a constant temperature gradient (G=3.99 K/mm) with a wide range of growth rates (8.3-478.6 mu m/s) and at a constant growth rate (V=8.3 mu m/s) with a ...

Succinonitrile (SCN)-7.5 wt.% carbon tetrabromide (CTB) alloy was unidirectionally solidified with a constant growth rate (V = 33 mu m/s) at five different temperature gradients (G = 4.1-7.6 K/mm) and with a constant ...

The Cd-67.8 wt.% Sn eutectic alloy was prepared by melting together appropriate amounts of cadmium and tin (both of 99.99% purity) in a graphite crucible in a vacuum melting furnace. Then, this eutectic alloy was poured ...

Zn-1.5wt.%Cu peritectic alloy was prepared in a graphite crucible under a vacuum atmosphere. Unidirectional solidification of Zn-1.5wt.%Cu peritectic alloy was carried out with the Bridgman method by using metals of 99.99 ...

Pb(100-x)-Sn-x solders (x = 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 35 wt.%, 50 wt.%, 60 wt.%, 61.9 wt.%, and 95 wt.%) were directionally solidified upward with a constant growth rate (V = 37.4 mu m/s) in a temperature gradient (G = 4.8 ...

The equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes of a solid Al solution in equilibrium with Al-Cu-Ag liquid were observed from a quenched sample using a radial heat flow apparatus. The Gibbs-Thomson coefficient, solid-liquid ...

Cd-Sn, Bi-Cd, and Al-Si eutectic and Al-3wt.%Si hypoeutectic alloys of high-purity (99.99%) metals were produced in a vacuum atmosphere. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of these specimens were measured at various ...

Pb-9.3wt.%Sb alloy was directionally solidified upwards under argon atmosphere under the two conditions; with different temperature gradients, (G = 0.93-3.67K/mm) at a constant growth rate (V = 17.50 mu m/s) and with ...
