The properties and serviceability of 3D-printed metal parts depend on a variety of attributes.
These include the chemical composition, phases, morphology, spatial distributions of grain …

We briefly review the state-of-the-art in phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution. The
focus is placed on recent applications of phase-field simulations of solid-state microstructure …

This is the first account of the history of modelling dendritic and cellular solidification. While
Part I reviewed the progress up to the year 2000 [Kurz W, Fisher DJ, Trivedi R. Progress in …

Metal additive manufacturing (MAM) technology is now changing the pattern of the high-end
manufacturing industry, among which microstructure simulation gradually shows its …

Friction stir welding (FSW) process is currently considered as a promising alternative to join
aluminium alloys. Indeed, this solid-state welding technique is particularly recommended for …

Direct energy deposition (DED) is a promising additive manufacturing technology for large-
scale fabrications of high-value components. Grain structure control is challenging but …

We present a computational framework for the simulations of powder-bed fusion of metallic
alloys, which combines:(1) CalPhaD calculations of temperature-dependent alloy properties …

A broad range of computational models have been proposed to predict microstructure
development during solidification processing but they have seldom been compared to each …

Xanthomonas oryzae pathovar oryzae (Xoo) uses transcription activator-like effectors
(TALEs) to cause bacterial blight (BB) in rice. In turn, rice has evolved several mechanisms …

The growth competition between columnar dendritic grains is investigated by both phase-
field (PF) and cellular automaton (CA) models in a growth regime where the primary …
