Abstract
Directional solidification experiments have been carried out on Fe-3.4 wt pct C-2 wt pct Si alloys with and without the addition of 0.06 wt pct Te. The effect of the Te addition upon the gray-to-white transition velocity and the white-to-gray transition velocity has been determined. Quenched solid/liquid interface studies on mixed structures, white + type D gray and type D gray + type A gray, have determined the temperature differences at the growth front for these structures.
