Extract

Small Pb inclusions in Al have been studied by a number of investigators because the alloy system offers the possibility of observing the processes of melting and solidification directly. Both solids are fee, and the mutual solubility of solid Pb and Al is negligible. Despite a large difference in lattice parameter, it has been found that inclusions follow a parallel-cube orientation relationship and their equilibrium shape is a cuboctahedron, bounded by ﹛111﹜ and ﹛100﹜ facets [1]. Following Herring, the relative extent of the two types of facet directly indicates a ratio of interfacial energies γl00/γ111- However, recent investigations have shown that for inclusions in the range of a few to a few tens of nanometers the equilibrium shape becomes a function of size [2].

In the present work, this size dependence of the equilibrium shape has been investigated further. Al alloys with about lat.% Pb were prepared by rapid solidification or by ion implantation, and equilibrated by annealing at about 300°C.
