Due to the nature of the solute redistribution, the reduction in the solidification rate with time
in a square root relationship, and the multiphase melt flow during the solidification, casting …

Mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) has been introduced into the continuous casting of
steel billets to promote the formation of a central equiaxed zone; however, the formation …

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

A series of solidification benchmark experiments based on Sn-10wt.% Pb alloy were
performed at the SIMAP Laboratory in Grenoble, France (Hachani et al., 2015) to study the …

Segregation channels with misoriented spurious grains, known as freckles, are an
unacceptable casting defect in superalloy turbine blades. A digital-twin method to predict …

The surging demand for large high-quality rotor shafts or similar steel components in heavy
industries (energy sector) poses new challenges to steelmakers. Based on the experience of …

A mixed columnar-equiaxed solidification model was recently extended to capture the
capillary-driven fragmentation phenomenon, which was considered the only mechanism for …

Making clear the metallurgical transport behaviors during direct chill (DC) casting is of great
significance to control the solidified structure and reduce the casting defects, but it still …

Laboratory experiments of steel ingots under three cooling modes and industrial trials of
continuous casting (CC) blooms and billets were conducted, respectively. Corresponding …

Macrosegregation is a critical factor that limits the mechanical properties of materials. The
impact of equiaxed crystal sedimentation on macrosegregation has been extensively …
