Abstract

The morphology and growth behavior of Al3Ni in the liquid Al/solid Ni interface were observed through synchrotron radiation. The formation time and mechanism of Al3Ni are connected with saturation of the molten layer. In unsaturated conditions, the growth of columnar Al3Ni formed during solidification governed by the melting of small grains accompanied by the growth of adjacent large grains and coalescence of grains near the tips. Conversely, the scallop-type Al3Ni formed in holding showed annexation of adjacent small grains with its morphology changing from scallop to hemisphere.
