Abstract

The Ni-12 wt%Si hypereutectic composites with solidification rates of 6 μm/s, 9 μm/s, 25 μm/s and 40 μm/s were prepared by an improved Bridgman directional solidification technique. However, the metastable phase Ni31Si12 was inevitably formed during solidification process. This is usually unfavorable to the stability of the microstructure and properties of alloy. The content of metastable phase was decreased by different annealing heat treatment processes in this paper. Moreover, the effect of metastable phase content on the corrosion behavior of Ni-12 wt%Si hypereutectic composites in 10% H2SO4 solution was investigated as well.
