Dendritic Solidification in a Copper Nickel Alloy

Authors: SACİT DÜNDAR

Abstract: The distribution of nickel in dendrite arms and in interdendritic regions of copper-10\% nickel alloy solidified under production conditions designed to provide 4 different cooling rates was investigated. The results indicate that at different rates of solidification undercooling, diffusion and convection mechanisms affect the microsegregation of nickel and copper in the cast materials to various extents.

Keywords: Dendritic growth, Solidification microstructure.
