摘要
The key physical parameters for nucleation of a second liquid phase in Al-Bi and Al-Pb monotectic liquids have been measured. The density of coexisting liquid phases, the interfacial tension between them, and the contact angle of the liquid liquid interface on ZrO2 and TiB2 ceramics have been determined as a function of temperature. The contact angle data suggest that Al2O3, ZrO2, and TiB2 particles can act as centres for heterogeneous nucleation of the minority liquid phase in Al-Pb and Al-Bi immiscible alloys. Casting experiments on the alloy Al91Pb9 (wt.%) show that the maximum size of the liquid phase droplets decreases, and their population increases, upon addition of inoculants.
