Conclusions
-
1.
The primary crystallization structure of Mo-W alloys can be observed by scanning-electron microscopy. It could not be revealed by other methods. The main constituents of this structure are cells and cellular dendrites.
-
2.
The primary dendritic axis has a variable chemical composition along its length, which is caused by its discontinuous growth.
-
3.
There is an interrelationship between the primary crystallization structure and the degree of the intracrystalline segregation, which develops more intensively for cellular growth than when cellular dendrites are formed.
-
4.
Variation in the boron content in alloys of the Mo-W system almost does not have any effect on the degree of development of intracrystalline segregation of W in Mo.
