Nucleation bursts of primary intermetallic crystals in a liquid Al alloy studied using in situ synchrotron X-ray radiography

The nucleation of primary Pt-rich intermetallic compound (IMC) crystals was studied in a model Al-Pt-Er alloy as an analogue to AlFe that forms in commercial Al alloys. The Pt-rich IMCs provided strong X-ray absorption contrast that allowed earlier detection of formation events and the resolution of...
