Solidification transformations in liquid phase separated metastable monotectic Cu-50 at. % Co alloy

Metastable monotectic Cu-50 at. % Co alloy produced by arc melting has been processed under micro gravity condition using a drop tube and subjected to differential thermal analysis (DTA). Microstructural evidence from the as solidified sample revealed that rapid cooling of melt process was enough incite liquid phase separation in alloy. In samples, temperature ?-phase (Cu-rich) determined be 1294.8 K, whereas ?-phase (Co-rich) found vary with cobalt content.
