1. The undercooling observed in liquid nickel is 150°C. Assuming homogeneous nucleation occurs at this temperature
and a correlation between nucleation velocity, calculate the liquid /solid interface energy for nickel.

3. Calculate the nucleation rate and the evolution of the number of nuclei for an Fe-C alloy assuming two different
nucleation undercoolings of 1 and 5 K, and a final number of nuclei of Ns = 6x1011 m-3. This is equivalent to the
assumption of two alloys solidifying on the same number of substrates but with different chemistry. Therefore,
the two types of nuclei become active at two different nucleation temperatures.
4. Consider a pure nickel single crystal growing with a planar interface at a velocity of 10-5 m/s. Assuming growth by
the continuous growth mechanism, calculate the growth constant and the kinetic undercooling.
