| Sumario: | In this work, we investigated the temperature dependence of the kinematic viscosity of multicomponent Fe<sub>72.5−<i>x</i></sub>Ni<i><sub>x</sub></i>Cu<sub>1</sub>Nb<sub>2</sub>Mo<sub>1.5</sub>Si<sub>14</sub>B<sub>9</sub> melts with a Ni content of up to 12.7 at. %. The peculiarities of the temperature dependence of Ni-containing melts were explained by the tendency of Ni atoms to surface segregation. Ni atoms are concentrated near the interfaces of the liquid and solid phases in the mushy zone at the stage of melting and restrain the melting of the solid phase. With increasing Ni content, the Arrhenius type of viscous flow begins at a higher temperature. Ni atoms are concentrated at the periphery of clusters, increasing their size and decreasing their mobility. The movement of Ni-containing clusters increases the activation energy and decreases the kinematic viscosity. The change in the activation energy at a temperature of about 1700 K was associated with a liquid-liquid structure transition (LLST). This structural transition is reversible since it is observed both at the heating and cooling stages. The increase in kinematic viscosity at temperatures above 1900 K was associated with the decomposition of high-temperature clusters based on cementite and silicon oxides. |
