Abstract

Electromagnetic levitation and drop tube processing were used to investigate the solidification behaviour of Co50Cu50 alloys. Deep undercooling was achieved down to 241 K, the alloy melts separated into Co-rich L1-phase and Cu-richL2-phase before solidification. In drop tube processing, the Cu-rich phases disperse morehomogeneously than in EML. This is due to the reduced gravity and high cooling rate during free fall and solidification.
