Abstract
Predictions that increasing cooling rate will result in increasing elevation of the apparent peritectic arrest temperature have been confirmed for Cd-Ag and Zn-Cu alloys in line with observations of Al-Ti alloys. The shape of the peritectic cooling curve is related to the competition between the peritectic transformation and direct crystallization from the melt in the formation of the secondary α phase. The effect on solidification of the relative depressions of the α and β liquidus during cooling is considered.
