Solidification behavior of induction melted Cu-Cr alloys

Solidification behavior of Cu-Cr alloys was studied by arc-melting and induction melting.The results showed that the induction melted Cu-Cr alloys were contaminated for the strong reaction of Cu-Cr alloys with the crucible materials at the high temperature,which clarified the arguments beween Muller and Li.Liquid phase separation occurred in the inducing melted alloys with the Cr concentration more than 40at.%,which might be attributed to the reactant particles promoting the liquid phase separation.
