Abstract

This paper describes some examples of the use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in providing information for advanced solidification processing of metals and alloys. Spray forming, squeeze casting, grain refinement and crystallization of amorphous alloys are all discussed. DSC measurements are shown to be valuable for testing kinetic theories of nucleation and growth, and validating solidification process models.

Zusammenfassung

Vorliegend werden einige Beispiele für den Einsatz von DSC zur Gewinnung von Informationen über Erstarrungsprozesse von Metallen und Legierungen beschrieben. Dabei wurden sowohl Spritzformen, als auch Druckgießen, Kornverfeinerung und Kristallisation von amorphen Legierungen behandelt. DSC-Messungen erweisen sich als nützlich für das Testen der kinetischen Theorien von Keimbildung und Keimwachstum und zur Bestätigung der Erstarrungsprozeßmodelle.
