Resolidification of a mushy-zone and directional solidification: a method for efficient alloy development demonstrated using the example of Cu–Ga–Sn

Abstract An experimental method for alloy development that allows to systematically scan multicomponent alloy systems is presented using the Cu–Ga–Sn system as an example. Rods with homogeneous concentration distribution of different initial compositions are annealed in a steep temperature gradient...
