The document discusses the role of recrystallization in the spontaneous grain refinement of rapidly solidified Ni3Ge, a congruently melting intermetallic compound. It details the experimental process, which includes the use of a drop method to achieve significant cooling rates and examines how these rates affect microstructure and nucleation. The findings suggest that grain refinement occurs alongside solidification morphology, but recrystallization is not effectively suppressed under high cooling rates.
