Metastable microheterogeneity of melts in eutectic and monotectic systems and its influence on the properties of the solidified alloy

Unexpectedly large relaxation time determined by in situ high-frequency shear modulus measurements near the glass transition of bulk glassy Pd40Cu30Ni10P20

“…One can find a few indirect confirmations of this idea in the literature. First, the physical properties of certain supercooled and equilibrium melts display pronounced hysteresis upon heating ↔ cooling [11][12][13][14][15][16] implying relatively large time constants for underlying structural changes. It might be supposed, however, that in the absence of changes in the liquid short-range order the relaxation time should be comparable to τ m .…”

Structure of some CoCrFeNi and CoCrFeNiPd multicomponent HEA alloys by diffraction techniques

“…In order for the alloy production to be similar to most earlier studies on HEAs, the ingots were flipped and remelted several times in order to achieve melt homogeneity. It should though be noted that it has been shown in numerous works that this procedure does not ensure that the alloy melt is homogeneous [41,42]. However, this procedure was adopted in order to avoid any ambiguity when comparing our results to those presented in the literature.…”

Microstructure evolution of directionally solidified DZ125 superalloy with melt superheating treatment

“…These clusters are very stable even though they are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. Popel et al [23] discovered that the melt structure transformed from a microinhomogeneous to a homogeneous state when the melt superheating temperature passed critical temperature. For Ni-base superalloy, which contains carbide, there are two critical temperatures.…”
