Description

The maximum achievable compositional variation in pseudobinary systems can be calculated following a method reported in this work. Preliminary data are shown about a synthesis method based on the recrystallization by moving the quenched melt in a thermal gradient. This method produces ingot with large grains, no compositional gradient and very small number of pores (<1% of the total volume). copyright 1995 American Institute of Physics
