Solidification experiments on Al–20 wt.% Cu alloys with grain refiner were performed in a
Bridgman-type furnace to investigate the impact of gravity-driven phenomena on the …

During the last two decades, many algorithms were developed to simulate the solidification
process for different casting methods like ingots, continuous casting of steel and the direct …

The columnar-to-equiaxed transition is a technologically important phenomenon that
controls the grain structure in the casting of alloys. Analytical and coarse-grained models …

Directional solidifications of Al-7 wt.% Si alloy were carried out under microgravity on board
the International Space Station to investigate the impact of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) …

Directional solidification experiments of grain refined Al− 7 wt% Si alloy were carried out on
Earth under normal gravity conditions (1 g) and in the Material Science Laboratory on board …

Columnar and equiaxed structures, which occur during solidification of metallic alloys,
influence the texture and properties of castings, welded joints and additively manufactured …

We present a mathematical formulation of a multiscale model for solidification with
convective flow in the liquid phase. The model is an extension of the dendritic needle …

The dendritic needle network (DNN) model tracks the diffusion-controlled growth of
branches in the hierarchically structured dendritic network, thereby bridging the well …

Competitive growth is a key topic in directional solidification, however, to the authors' best
knowledge, there are no experimental or numerical studies on competitive growth between …

The columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) is crucial to the solidification quality and the
mechanical property of steels. With the cellular automaton approach, the present work …
