Abstract

The aim of the work was the experimental verification of validity of the phenomenon of phase formation through a stage of liquid state in metals being electrodeposited. The idea of the work is based on a known fact that at super-quick solidification of highly undercooled liquid metallic phase the spherulites appear. For the proof of existence of intermediate liquid phase of metal being electrodeposited it was planned to obtain the deposits in spherulitic form. The conditions for the formation of metal being electrodeposited in spherulitic form are discussed and realized. Practical realization of the idea mentioned above was accomplished by combined nickel and chromium alloying of iron being electrodeposited at high current density. As a result of the model experiment the samples of electrodeposited alloyed iron, consisting solely of spherulites, were obtained. The formation of metal being electrodeposited solely in shperulitic form, typical for the metal solidified from liquid state with very high rate in conditions of significant undercooling, proves validity of the phenomenon of phase formation of metals being electrodeposited through a stage of liquid state.
