Different undercooling degrees of Cu55Ni45 alloy were obtained by the combination of molten glass purification and cyclic superheating, and the maximum undercooling degree reached 284 K. The microstructure of the alloy was observed by metallographic microscope, and the evolution of microstructure was studied systematically. There are two occasions of grain refinement in the solidification structure of the alloy: one occurs in the case of low undercooling, and the other occurs in the case of high undercooling. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technology was used to analyze the rapid solidification structure under high undercooling. The features of flat polygonal grain boundary, high proportion of twin boundary, and large proportion of large angle grain boundary indicate recrystallization. The change in microhardness of the alloy under different undercooling degrees was studied by microhardness tester. It was found that the average microhardness decreased sharply at high undercooling degrees, which further confirmed the recrystallization of the solidified structure at high undercooling degrees.
