Features of nickel alloy structure, conditions for crystallization and isolation of main and redundant phases during modification by Yu. O. Filippov, E. N. Eremin, D. A. Sedykh, O. V. Kropotin

“…The influence of modification of heat-resistant nickel-based alloys on the crystallization kinetics of alloys was established by the methods of thermal analysis. This effect is expressed in the increase in solidus temperature and, as a consequence, narrowing the crystallization range of the alloy, the increase in the growth rate of a solid solution, and change in the temperature of precipitation of eutectic and strengthening phases. …”
