Abstract:

The influence of the rate of temperature change of the composition on the consistency of the processes of dissolution, crystallization and atomic transfer in a liquid inclusion and at its boundaries, characteristic of stationary  conditions of thermomigration, is theoretically estimated. Using the example of the silicon-aluminum system, the effect of stepwise and smooth temperature changes on the processes determining thermal migration and the velocity of  movement of the liquid inclusion is established. A critical rate of temperature change has been found, above which thermomigration becomes impossible.
