X-ray radioscopy enables the in-situ monitoring of metal alloy processes and then gives
access to crucial information on the dynamics of the underlying phenomena. In the last …

A comprehensive study on the heterogeneous nucleation and grain growth of Al-10 wt.% Cu
alloys inoculated with Al-5Ti-1B was carried out. To further reveal the solute segregation …

An in-situ study on the directional solidification of an inoculated Al-20 wt% Cu alloy under
well-controlled constant cooling rates and temperature gradients has been carried out using …

Synchrotron and laboratory-based X-ray imaging techniques have been increasingly used
for in situ investigations of alloy solidification and other metal processes. Several reviews …

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 …

Solidification experiments on Al–20 wt.% Cu alloys with grain refiner were performed in a
Bridgman-type furnace to investigate the impact of gravity-driven phenomena on the …

We present a review of recent in situ experimentation studies of solidification front patterns
and microstructures in alloys. Front-tracking diagnostics and real-time observation methods …

The formation of primary Fe-rich intermetallic compound crystals and the effect of TiB 2 and
TiC inoculation during solidification of a hypereutectic Al-Fe alloy has been investigated …

Results of near-isothermal equiaxed solidification experiments on the Al–Cu system
performed in situ with laboratory-based radiography are presented. The ability to align the X …

Since the characteristic of dendrite is an important factor determining the performance of
castings, a two-dimensional cellular automaton model with decentered square algorithm is …
