Interfacial microstructure formation in A356/steel compound castings using metal coating

Modelling of Equiaxed Microstructure in Castings

The paper deals with a numerical modelling of equiaxed microstructure formation during the solidification of two-component alloys. The basic enthalpy formulation was applied to model the solidification. The equiaxed grain size was dependent on the average cooling velocity at the moment when the liquid metal reaches the liquidus temperature. The experimentally determined dependence between grain...

Topology-generating interfacial pattern formation during liquid metal dealloying

Liquid metal dealloying has emerged as a novel technique to produce topologically complex nanoporous and nanocomposite structures with ultra-high interfacial area and other unique properties relevant for diverse material applications. This process is empirically known to require the selective dissolution of one element of a multicomponent solid alloy into a liquid metal to obtain desirable stru...
