Influence of modification of the cast metal structure by solid phase particles on the nucleation of crystallization centers and their stability by Е.Н. Еремин

“…It is shown that if between the particle and the cladding layer the difference in chemical potentials of the contacting phases will exist throughout the entire process, and on the surface of the complex it will have a low value of surface tension, then such a particle will be stable, which takes place during adsorption of a surface-active component from a melt. Therefore, the efficiency of melt heterogenization and modification of the cast metal structure is determined by the thermodynamic activity of the substance of the transition layer to the material of the solid phase particle. …”
