Abstract
Novel kinetic phase diagrams for homogeneous nucleation during nun-equilibr ium solidification of Ag-Cu alloys were evolved by stochastic modelling. Th e allowable undercoolings and the composition of the primary nucleating pha se at any cooling rate and liquid composition could be read from these diag rams, The calculated values were found to lie within the thermodynamically permissible limits determined through construction of non-isothermal metast ability held diagrams.
