Modelling and simulation of macrosegregation has experienced explosive growth since the
pioneering studies of Flemings and co-workers in the mid-1960s. This paper presents a …

For over half a century, grain refinement of aluminium alloys has been achieved by chemical
inoculation; current grain-refinement practice involves the addition of master alloys (eg Al–Ti …

The widespread adoption of particulate metal matrix composites (MMCs) for engineering
applications has been hindered by the high cost of producing components of even minimally …

The eutectic silicon in A356 alloy can be refined and modified using either chemical,
quench, or superheating modification. We observed, for the first time, that the eutectic silicon …

Control of as-cast grain size is important for aluminium alloys and is achieved by inoculation.
The usual analysis of grain refining (based on recalescence in small test samples) is not …

Abstract Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (DED-AM) is transformative for
the production of larger, geometrically complex metallic components. However, the …

Results of the directional solidification (DS) experiments on particle engulfment and pushing
by solidifying interfaces (PEP), conducted on the space shuttle Columbia during the Life and …

TiB2 particles were observed at the grain boundaries of an Al casting, suggesting they were
pushed during solidification; however, a small proportion were retained within the α-Al …

Theories on fluidity of alloys based on the solidification mode are not satisfactory in
describing fluidity of alloys under high-pressure die casting (HPDC) conditions. To …

Abstract Al 3 Ti and TiB 2 particles were made in-situ from adding halide salts in molten Al-
4.5 wt% Cu alloys. The molten halide salts also dissolved the oxide in the molten metal to …
