Solidification microstructure development
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present article, evolution of microstructure during solidification, as a function of various parameters, is discussed. Macrosegregation is described as being due to insufficient diffusivity of solute in the solid. Pattern formation is discussed in the light of instabilities at the solidification growth front. An overview of the scaling relations for various microstructures is given. Metastable extensions to equilibrium phase diagrams and corrections to equilibrium quantities are described.

Thermal Process Maps for Controlling Microstructure in Laser-Based Solid Freeform Fabrication
The ability to predict and control microstructure in laser deposited materials requires an understanding of the thermal conditions at the onset of solidification. The focus of this work is the development of thermal process maps relating solidification cooling rate and thermal gradient (the key parameters controlling microstructure) to laser deposition process variables (laser power and velocit...

متن کاملEffect of solidification rate on microstructure evolution in dual phase microalloyed steel
In steels the dependence of ambient temperature microstructure and mechanical properties on solidification rate is not well reported. In this work we investigate the microstructure and hardness evolution for a low C low Mn NbTi-microalloyed steel solidified in the cooling rate range of 1-50 Cs-1. The maximum strength was obtained at the intermediate solidification rate of 30 Cs-1. This result h...
متن کاملSupercooled Simultaneous Composite Casting for Microstructure Refinement of Alloy
The objective of this work was to introduce a novel method for refining the solidification microstructure. Traditional casting usually solidifies one homogeneous liquid by removing heat from liquid surface, by which the microstructure solely depends on the heat removal rate for the given alloy composition. The newly developed multi-liquid composite simultaneous casting concept raises an alterna...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Cooling Rate of Centrifugal Casting Based on Grain Size
The rate of solidification affects the microstructure, quality and mechanical properties of the castings. The analysis of heat transfer in centrifugal casting is very complex due to rapid solidification, rotating mould, opaque mould and high temperature. As the grain size is directly depending on the rate of solidification of the casting, based on grain size the rate of solidification of the ce...
