INTERFACE MORPHOLOGIES AND SOLUTE SEGREGATION OF Al-Li ALLOY 8090 DURING UNIDIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION

The solid-liquid interface morphology and solute segregation behaviour of AI-Li alloy 8090during unidirectional solidification were studied by the liquid metal quenehing method undervaried processing conditions.When solidification rate,RO.75 mm/min (temper-ature gradient,G_L=130℃/cm),the structure revealed of planar or dendritic interfacerespectively.With the increase of R,the interface morphology becomes cellular from planargradually,within a narrow range.And the greater the R,the,finer the dendrite.Segregationof element Cu and impurity elements Fe and Si are quite severe,the interface morphologymarkedly influences on solute segregation.During solidification at coarse dendrite interface,their segregation ratios are rather great and solidified structure is coarse.
