摘要

Well-aligned in situ composites obtained in directionally solidified Fe-Ni peritectic system are formed by nonisothermal cellular coupled growth instead of isothermal coupled growth because of morphological instabilities. Peritectic coupled growth, with a plane interface like eutectic coupled growth, is always unstable due to the influence of peritectic reaction around the liquid/delta/gamma trijunctions. However, cellular nonisothermal peritectic coupled growth, in which one of the two solid phases bulges towards the liquid ahead of the other one, can reach a steady state and produce well-aligned in situ composites under proper growth conditions and sample composition.
