Abstract
Investigations of phase transformations of supersaturated solid soluti ons demonstrate that a polymorphous amorphization of the crystalline p hase, the so-called inverse melting, does occur in the Ti-Cr system. H owever, this phenomenon is only observed in a small composition range around 55 at.% Cr. The particular thermodynamic and kinetic requiremen ts for inverse melting are described by using the Ti-Cr system as an e xample.
