 Solidification of Alloys
• Alloys freeze over a varied range of temperature rather than at single temperature.
• The exact range depends on the alloy system and particular composition

To Understand the solidification of alloy, a clear

understanding of phase diagram is needed

 Development of Microstructure
Consider the overall composition of alloy 35 wt% Ni – 65 wt%
L-phase Cu as it is cooled from 1300 0C.

At 1300 0C, the alloy is completely liquid. It is represented by
