Abstract Scope |
Uncovering the morphology of evolving, nano-scale structures like eutectics remains a challenge for experimental measurements. High-speed, full-field x-ray imaging provides unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions to uncover the solidification process in metal eutectic alloys. However, reconstructing the 3D volume from one or a limited set of angular projections remains a challenge for X-ray nanotomography and novel imaging strategies are needed to overcome this limitation. Here we present initial results captured at the National Synchrotron Light Source-II at Brookhaven National Laboratory to resolve the unusual solidification dynamics of an Al-Al3Ni eutectic alloy, which contains a small volume fraction of an anisotropic Al3Ni phase embedded in an Al matrix. Through advancements in data sampling and reconstruction, we maximize the performance of the available in-situ nanotomography instrumentation to characterize these fine polyphase structures evolving from the molten state. |
