Abstract: |
In this work, the Zn22Al4Ag alloy was synthesized by melting in a muffle furnace.The alloy obtained was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy and was analyzed by the X-Ray Diffraction technique, where the crystallinity of the material was verified before and after being processed. Likewise, the Differential Scanning Calorimetry technique was used to obtain the temperatures where phase transformations occurin the alloy. These results were fed to the Termocalc®, software to numerically obtain the phase diagram of the alloy. Subsequently, a section of the ingot was taken to the rapid solidification process by rotating drum. The process variables were manipulated: jet stability, nozzle diameter, distance from the nozzle surface to the cooling medium, the delay time of the molten material in the crucible, speed of the rotating drum and jet angle, until obtaining a microwire with a diameter of ~ 160µm. Finally, it was determined that inadequate control of these parameters can result in powders, flakes or blockage of the crucible outlet. Potentially uses within the micro and nanoworld as an analogy to structural elements and electrical conductors, in addition to its current use as a coating anti-corrosive.
