Abstract
Undercooling experiments have been performed on refractory materials by processing in a high drop-tube. Emphasis is put on general aspects of surface and bulk microstructures of solidified droplets, including pure metals (W, Re, Ta, Mo, Nb, Ir, Zr) and alloys (W-Re, Mo-Re, Ta-Zr). It is shown that recrystallization often causes polycrystallinity. Moreover, the microstructure is closely related to undercooling amount prior solidification. The effect of secondary cooling on microstructure can also be studied by quenching the samples in solid tin at the end of free-fall.
