Formation mechanism of anomalous eutectics in highly undercooled Ag--39.9 at%Cu alloy

<正>This paper investigates the solidification behaviour of the Ag—Cu eutectic alloy melt undercooled up to 100 K.It is revealed that lamellar eutectics grow in a dendritic form in the Ag-Cu eutectic melt with undercooling equal to or greater than 76 K.As undercooling increases,the remelted fraction of the primary eutectics during recalescence rises. The severe remelting and the subsequent ripening of the primary eutectic dendrites lead to the formation of anomalous eutectics.
