While melt undercooling is often observed during solidification the control of undercooling
and nucleation is difficult due to the numerous possible heterogeneous sites present in even …

Updated and translated by André Luiz V. da Costa e Silva This book is a combination of a
metallographic atlas for steels and cast irons and an introductory textbook covering the …

Equiaxed solidification contributes to the ridging defect resistance of ferritic stainless steel. Ti
2 O 3 accelerating TiN formation to nucleate δ-ferrite was recently recognized as an effective …

The effects of the surface roughness, carbon content and the additions of carbon nanotubes
(CNT) and alumina nanosheets (ANS) on the wettability of molten steel on Al 2 O 3 …

Wetting generally involves three phases and is controlled by the energies of the three
interfaces that separate each of the three pairs of phases. Because interfacial segregation …

Solid or molten oxides are considered to act as nucleation sites during continuous steel
casting. The influence of the kind of oxide crystal and atmospheric oxygen partial pressure …

The heterogeneous undercooling degree of interstitial-free steel (IF steel) on various
substrates was measured through observing the recalescence phenomenon by sessile drop …

The effect of high magnetic fields on the nucleation behavior of Ni-90at% Cu alloys and pure
Sb were investigated. It was found that the undercooling of both Ni-90at% Cu alloys and …

The solidification behavior of slags is a complex subject due to the varied chemical
compositions of steelmaking slags. However, recent experimental developments, using the …

The effect of nano-carbon black content (0, 8 and 12 wt.%) on the wettability of molten steel
on Al2O3–C substrates was investigated by the sessile drop wetting method at 1500° C …
