Does anyone suggest me the literature on the values of undercooling (or activation barrier) for heterogeneous nucleation of Aluminium; for various ceramic substrates (ex. TiB2; TiC; MgAl2O4; AlN; AlB2; Al2O3; MgO etc.. )
Dr. Prasad, you may consult the following references. These are related to heterogeneous non-reciprocal nucleation.
1.Southin and Chadwick Acta Met 26(1978)223, 2.Biswell and Chadwick Acta Met. 28(1980)209. 3. Cantor and Doherthy Acta Met. 17(1979) 33
This paper may be useful: B. A. Mueller, J. H. Perepezko. Undercooling of aluminum, Metallurgical And Materials Transactions A. 1987 ,18A, 1143-1150.
Dear Dr. Prasada,
you should also consult the following paper by Royset, which investigated freezing out the diffusion and thus the nucleation in AA6xxx alloys by cooling down to -40°C.
There, no age-hardening is happening and thus no diffusion of added elements.
You could also consult our publications showing the same effect but with different methods
With best regards
Torsten Staab
