Abstract: The solid-liquid interface morphology and solute segregation behaviour of AI-Li alloy 8090 during unidirectional solidification were studied by the liquid metal quenehing method under varied processing conditions.When solidification rate,RO.75 mm/min (temper- ature gradient,G_L=130℃/cm),the structure revealed of planar or dendritic interface respectively.With the increase of R,the interface morphology becomes cellular from planar gradually,within a narrow range.And the greater the R,the,finer the dendrite.Segregation of element Cu and impurity elements Fe and Si are quite severe,the interface morphology markedly influences on solute segregation.During solidification at coarse dendrite interface, their segregation ratios are rather great and solidified structure is coarse.

Key words: Al-Li alloy, unidirectional solidification, interface morphology, solute segregation, alloy 8090
