Abstract
By comparing phase fractions upon solidification of Ni–3·3 wt-%B alloy obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement, microstructure observation and the baseline method, the results show that although as an approximate approach, the baseline method can be used to predict the phase fractions from the cooling curve, and it can reflect the relationship between the transformed fraction, time and temperature simultaneously during solidification, which cannot be obtained from DSC measurement. In addition, the effects of non-constant specific heat and latent heat of phases on the baseline method are discussed and the calibration relationships are deduced.
