Reactions at a Solid / Liquid Interface during Formation of the Intermetallic Multi-layer
 
WALDEMAR WOŁCZYŃSKI  EDWARD GUZIK  DARIUSZ KOPYCIŃSKI   TOSHIMITSU OKANE  CEZARY SENDEROWSKI  
A reactive diffusion is postulated to be observed during formation of the intermetallic multi-layer on a given substrate. Particularly, back-diffusion is envisaged according to a model for the solute redistribution. Finally, formation of the intermetallic multi-layer results from peritectic reactions as assumed in the model. Thus, formation of the Al3Ni2 - Al3Ni intermetallic multi-layer on t[...]
