In this research is carried out a sequence of experiments with Al-Ni hypoeutectic alloys to analyze the upward vertical directional solidification on transient conditions of heat flow. Experimental approaches were developed to quantitative the thermal variables of solidification, as follow: local time solidification; dislocation rate of liquidus isotherms, tip cooling rates and thermal gradients. This study analyzes the dendrite secondary arms spacing in relation to solidification thermal variables and to alloy composition, beyond link these parameters with corrosion resistance of these alloys. These experimental dendrite parameters, concerning to alloys solidification as Al - 1, 1,4 and 1,8%Ni, couldn’t be compared with the main theoretical model of dendrite growth by others researches, because, to alloy studied there shortage of thermophysic properties, impossible this comparison. The corrosive behavior is analyzed by potentiodynamic polarization technique and cyclic polarization technique lead into 3,5%NaCl solution on room temperature, coarse structure dendritics tend to increase the corrosion rates of Al-Ni hypoeutectic alloys. The experimental results obtained by the corrosion tests were correlated with dendrite microstructure. This way, experimental tendencies of growth dendrite were determined to upward vertical directional solidification.
