Abstract

Intermetallic compounds often exhibit sluggish growth kinetics in solidification because of a chemical order in their crystal lattices. The chemical order can be reduced or even suppressed in rapid solidification leading to rapid growth of disordered crystals. Such a phenomenon is known as disorder trapping and can be detected by in situ diagnosis of crystal growth kinetics in rapid solidification. A sharp disorder trapping was observed in rapid solidification of the intermetallic Ni3Sn compound using a high-speed camera recently. In this paper, the observed tip velocities of ordered and disordered Ni3Sn dendrites were modeled using a three-dimensional dendritic growth model with liquid flows. The modeling suggested that the interface kinetic coefficient is increased abruptly by two orders of magnitude as the disorder trapping is triggered at a critical tip velocity of 0.86 m/s. Assuming a constant critical tip velocity, the modeling suggested that the critical undercooling for the disorder trapping can be shifted by strong liquid flows.
