Abstract

Effects of Ti alloying during laser-induced Ni silicide formation is studied. Unique triple layer microstructures were found with the presence of supercell in the NiSi₂ grains formed at the interface. This supercell formation was caused by a local ordering of Ni and Si atoms that favor lower free energy during rapid solidification. Ti rapidly segregates from the alloy melt and forms a protective TiO_x overlayer on the surface during solidification. Melt front progressing towards the Ni-rich region leads to quenching of an amorphous layer sandwiched between NiSi₂ grains and the TiO_x overlayer.
