Additively manufactured (AM) metals are often highly textured, containing large columnar
grains that initiate epitaxially under steep temperature gradients and rapid solidification …

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 …

The structure and constitution of opaque materials can be studied with X‐ray imaging
methods such as 3D tomography. To observe the dynamic evolution of their structure and …

Within the past decade, X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT) has become an advanced
non-destructive tool to analyse the internal structure of opaque materials. In addition to high …

We study microstructure selection during directional solidification of a thin metallic sample.
We combine in situ X-ray radiography of a dilute Al-Cu alloy solidification experiments with …

Solidification morphology directly impacts the mechanical properties of materials; hence
many models of the morphological evolution of dendritic structures have been formulated …

Understanding the impact of thermo-solutal convection during alloy solidification is of central
importance in the casting industry. Convective flow generated from density variations in the …

Gravity-induced buoyancy, inevitable in most solidification processes, substantially alters the
dynamics of crystal growth, such that incorporating fluid flow in solidification models is …

The scale of solidification microstructures directly impacts micro-segregation, grain size, and
other factors which control strength. Using in situ high speed synchrotron X-ray tomography …

In situ dynamic transmission electron microscope (DTEM) imaging of Al-Si thin-film alloys
was performed to investigate rapid solidification behavior. Solidification of alloys with …
