Forced convection and its effect on the microstructure evolution of an Al-7wt.% Si alloy
during unidirectional solidification were studied experimentally. Under natural convection …

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 …

Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) has been recognized as a mature technique in steel industry
to control the as-cast structure of steel continuous casting (CC), and computational …

Melting or re-melting accompanies solidification in many technical castings. For example,
during ingot casting, some crystal fragments or equiaxed grains can enter the superheated …

To get a basic understanding of the solute transportation and chemical inhomogeneity in
directional columnar structures, the anisotropic permeability law was integrated into a …

A forced flow was experimentally shown to influence the solidification microstructure of metal
alloys by modifying the coarsening/ripening law. In some technical alloys (AlSi7Fe1), this …

This study focuses on the flow-solidification interaction during the solidification of NH 4 Cl–
70.43 wt.% H 2 O solution in a water-cooled mould with a large sample thickness (100× 80× …

During the solidification of hypoeutectic Al–7% Si alloy, density differences develop in the
melt due to variations in concentration and temperature. On Earth, melt flow can occur due to …

In the production of single-crystal turbine blades for use in aircraft engines with
unidirectional solidification techniques, it is confirmed that the casting geometry had great …

Permeability is a key parameter in hot tearing prediction, and the solidification microstructure
of alloys has an important influence on permeability prediction. The present paper builds a …
