Metastable phase formation in Ti–Al–Nb undercooled melts

The Al–B–Nb–Ti system

“…In the constituent binary Al-Nb system the key experimental information was reviewed by Zhu et al [12]. Important experimental data were published later than 2003 [12][13][14][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], or were recently shared within the IMPRESS project [27,28]. The data pool was further enlarged with our own measurements, described below.…”

“…A weight of 2 was assigned to all data obtained by DSC [20][21][22][23]. All other data from literature [25,27,28,38,42,43,49, were assigned a weight equal 1.…”

Special features of the structure and phase composition of a Ti – 23Al – 26Nb/Al layered material obtained by plasma-spark sintering

“…Commercial use of titanium aluminides is hindered by their inappropriate ductility and fracture toughness and poor processibility at room temperature. This makes the search for new materials based on light intermetallics with high operating properties and the development of methods for their production important tasks [4]. A possible way to raise the ductility of such materials is alloying with niobium.…”

Liquid phase separation and rapid dendritic growth of undercooled ternary Fe60Co20Cu20 alloy

“…As a very important parameter for the solidification theory investigation, the dendritic growth velocity (V) under different undercooling (ΔT) conditions has been investigated experimentally and theoretically in the field of materials science. The glass fluxing method [7] and some levitation techniques are usually used to experimentally measure the dendritic growth velocity up to now [2,[15][16][17][18][19]. There still exist two questions need to make it clear.…”

“…Dendritic growth has received a great deal of attention from the materials and physics scientists for centuries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Over the past few decades, a number of investigators have successfully developed theories to predict the dendritic growth velocity of pure metals and alloys as a function of undercooling [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
