Abstract

Kinetic modelling, incorporating variation in the degree of chemical order, is developed for the solidification of intermetallic compounds, and qualitative comparisons are made with experiment. It is found that a disordered phase can be obtained other than by the process of disorder trapping, and that partitioning can increase or invert with increasing solidification velocity. Solid-state ordering and its effects on final microstructure are also considered.
