Rapid advances in atomistic and phase-field modeling techniques as well as new
experiments have led to major progress in solidification science during the first years of this …

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

A series of casting experiments was performed with binary Al–Cu alloys with varying cooling
rates, cooling conditions and copper concentration. The quantitative relationships between …

New workable aluminum-based light alloys are a key issue in current materials science. In
this work, thermophysical properties (density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity) of liquid …

Primary dendritic arm spacing (PDAS) is an important microstructure feature in the nickel-
base single-crystal (SX) superalloys by laser rapid directional solidification (LRDS). A …

The directional solidification of Ga-25wt pct In alloys within a Hele-Shaw cell under the
influence of thermosolutal convection was observed by means of X-ray radioscopy. The …

Microstructural length scales, such as dendritic spacings in cast metallic alloys, play an
essential role in the properties of structural components. Therefore, quantitative prediction of …

Over the past few years Sn-based solders containing third and fourth elements have
become of great interest to try and improve the consistency of solders during application. In …

The aim of this paper is to correlate interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) to applied
external pressure, in which IHTC at the interface between A356 aluminum alloy and metallic …

Investigations have been made of the solidification structure of three hypoeutectic Al–Fe
alloys, which were directionally solidified under unsteady-state heat flow conditions. The …
