In this review, we present an overview of significant developments in the field of in situ and
operando (ISO) X-ray imaging of solidification processes. The objective of this review is to …

Dendrite arm fragmentation is considered in solidification structure tailoring. Time-resolved
and in situ imaging using synchrotron radiation X-rays allows the observation of dendrite …

Center segregation and banded intergranular segregation (B-IGS) should be well controlled
to improve the mechanical properties of twin-roll cast (TRC) aluminum alloys, especially for …

The behaviour of granular solid–liquid mixtures is key when deforming a wide range of
materials from cornstarch slurries to soils, rock and magma flows. Here we demonstrate that …

Semi-solid deformation mechanisms are important in a range of manufacturing and natural
phenomena, which range from squeeze casting to magma flows. Using fast synchrotron X …

The semi-solid metal forming process can prevent the formation of unpopular dendritic
microstructures but the mechanism remains unclear. To explore the underlying causes, a …

Solidification cracking is a key phenomenon associated with defect formation during
welding. To elucidate the failure mechanisms, solidification cracking during arc welding of …

The mechanical behavior of partially solidified Al–Cu alloys is investigated to assess the
influence of mushy zone deformation on hot tearing. For this purpose, the results of a semi …

Synchrotron X-ray imaging has been used to examine in situ the deformation of dendrites
that takes place during the solidification of a nickel-based superalloy. By combining …

The formation process of equiaxed structures during alloy solidification is a complicated
multiphysics problem as it includes solid–liquid phase transformations, transport of solute …
