Abstract

The effect of solidification history on the resultant microstructure in atomized Al-2.56 wt% Fe and Al-6.0 wt% Fe powders was studied, with particular emphasis on droplet size, undercooling, and phase stability. The atomized Al-Fe powders exhibited four microstructural features, i.e., Al₃Fe phase (now known as Al₁₃Fe₄), A1 + Al₆Fe, α-Al dendrite, and a predendritic microstructure. The presence of these phases was noted to depend on alloy composition and a kinetic phase competitive growth mechanism due to the initial undercooling experienced by the powders. The occurrence of structures of the predendritic, cellular, and/or dendritic type was properly predicted by the theory of dendrite growth into undercooled alloy melts for the case of large undercoolings.
