"choices": {
"text": [
"During the solidification of a solid solution alloy, the distribution of solute in the liquid phase changes, which alters the alloy's melting point. Even if the actual temperature distribution remains unchanged, the degree of supercooling at the solid-liquid interface front will vary. Therefore, the supercooling of a solid solution alloy is determined by both the changing alloy melting point and the actual temperature distribution. This type of supercooling caused by changes in liquid phase composition is called constitutional supercooling.",
"Constitutional supercooling occurs when the cooling rate exceeds the critical cooling rate for a given alloy, leading to a metastable undercooled liquid state that persists below the equilibrium solidification temperature due to kinetic limitations.",
"In constitutional supercooling, the solute partitioning coefficient causes a local increase in melting temperature ahead of the solidification front, resulting in a thermal gradient that opposes the direction of heat flow during solidification.",
"Constitutional supercooling is a phenomenon where the latent heat of fusion released during solidification creates a thermal barrier that prevents further crystal growth, requiring additional undercooling to overcome this energy barrier."
