摘要
The phase separation in the metastable miscibility gap of undercooled Co-Cu alloys has been investigated by electromagnetic levitation (EML) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The boundary line of the miscibility gap could be determined from DTA experiments through the exothermic process of separation. The separation morphologies of the levitated samples show drastic difference from those observed in the DTA-processed samples, which is attributed to the electromagnetic stirring effect and different cooling rates. The concentrations of the two separated phases determined from the solidified EML-processed samples agree well with the miscibility gap boundary measured by DTA. The statistical population of Go-rich spheres in the levitated specimens gives indication that the undercooling level has significant influence on coalescence of the minority phase.
