There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

This review is devoted to the theory of nucleation and growth of the ellipsoidal crystals in
supercooled melts and supersaturated solutions. We first outline the theory of single crystal …

Evolution of crystal ensembles in supersaturated solutions is studied at the initial and
intermediate stages of bulk crystallization. An integro-differential model includes fluctuations …

Heat treatment for precipitation hardening is known to have a significant effect on the
nano/microstructure of cast aluminum alloys, and thereby affecting its properties. In this …

This paper is concerned with the evolution of a particulate assemblage of ellipsoidal
particles in a metastable liquid with allowance for arbitrary nucleation kinetics. First, the …

Recent environmental restrictions constrained car manufacturers to promote cast aluminum
alloys working at high temperatures (180° C–300° C). The development of new alloys …

The evolution of a polydisperse ensemble of prolate and oblate ellipsoidal crystals in a
supercooled one-component melt is theoretically studied. The volume growth rates for …

The effects of anisotropic interfacial properties and heterogeneous elasticity on the growth
and ripening of plate-like θ′-phase (Al2Cu) in Al-1.69 at.% Cu alloy are studied. Multi …

In the aluminum industry, the needs of predictability of the kinetics of precipitation during the
artificial aging processes increase as the targeted applications require the maximisation of …

One of the major challenges in nucleation theory is to explain the kinetic pathway allowing
multicomponent precipitates to grow until they reach stability. This problem is particularly …
