| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Molten eutectic alloy metal, based on Zn-Sn mixture, was made in a cylindrical electrically heated furnace. The molten alloy was then cooled from above, with a disc-type temperature-controllable cooling object. The vertical temperature distributions below the cooling surface were monitored during the solidification process. The solidifying speeds were then computed, assuming that the eutectic temperature corresponds to the solidifying boundary. The small specimens taken at different vertical positions were analyzed with microscope. A clear correlation between the dendrite arm intervals and the computed solidifying speeds is observed. This proves that the micro-structure of the solid layer can be controlled by a temperature-controlled cooling surface.
