Abstract
A molecular dynamics simulation study has been performed for a system consisting of 10,000 atoms to investigate the microstructure evolutions during the rapid solidification. Results indicate that the crystallization has not enough time to complete due to the high cooling rate; therefore, a part of crystal structure is formed, in which the hcp and fcc basic clusters and some other metallic type clusters coexist in the final solidified structure.
