Crystallization of nickel alloys

The main structural elements of melts of nickel‑chromium, nickel‑aluminum, nickel‑titanium alloys are elementary nanocrystals of nickel, chromium, aluminum, titanium and their free atoms. The main crystallizing phases of nickel alloys are α‑phase and γ‑phase microcrystals. The crystallization process of nickel alloys is nanostructured. First, structure‑forming nanocrystals are formed from elementary nanocrystals and free atoms. Then crystallization centers are formed from them. From these centers, structure‑forming nanocrystals and free atoms, microcrystals of nickel alloys are formed.
