Abstract
Studies on solidification of equiatomic multi-component alloys are essential in developing melt-route processing of high entropy alloys. The extent of undercooling during processing controls microstructure evolution. In this study, we present solidification studies on undercooled equiatomic FeCuNi alloy carried out using melt fluxing technique. The alloy shows a two-phase (FCC + FCC) microstructure even at deep undercooling of more than 200 K. The dendrite growth velocity measured using high-speed video imaging shows a nonlinear increase in growth velocity with the increase in the extent of undercooling. A modified dendritic growth model was able to predict the growth velocity. The segregation behaviour and microstructures at different extents of undercooling can be predicted using phase field simulation.
