MODEL OF POROUS CU3SN FORMATION BY THE FLUX-DRIVEN CELLULAR PRECIPITATION

Main Article Content

A. M. Gusak

Abstract

Just discovered new morphology formation (porous Cu3Sn with lamellar structure) is discussed. Several possible explanations are compared. The most reasonable seems to be an explanation by the new-developed theory of Flux Driven Precipitation in open system. Simple formulae for prediction of the lamellar structure parameters and of the propagation velocity are obtained and compared with experiment. Comparison seems to be quite reasonable.
