Abstract

The existence of the phenomenon of the electrochemical phase formation in metals and alloys via a supercooled liquid state stage is further discussed. In order to experimentally verify the existence of the phenomenon in question, the shapes of metal deposits subjected to the action of a centrifugal force parallel to the crystallization front in the course of electrodeposition were studied. The idea of the performed studies was that if the phase formation in the electrodeposited metal actually passes the stage of the liquid state, then under a low force exerted on a metal parallel to the crystallization front, one should expect a change in the shape of the deposits in the direction of the applied force. The results of the performed experiments made it possible to establish the effect of a change in the shapes of metal deposits electrodeposited under a low force applied parallel to the crystallization front, including a thickening of the deposit edge which is distant in the direction of the force action, its deformation, and elongation. The established effect is one more proof for the existence of the phenomenon under discussion.
