Solute trapping and the non-equilibrium phase diagram for solidification of binary alloys
نویسنده
چکیده
A phase field model for the solidification of binary alloys is presented and analyzed. A matched asymptotic approach is used to recover the model’s leading order sharp interface motion. Equations for both the solute profile and free energy balance at the interface are derived, demonstrating solute trapping at large growth velocities and leading to a construction of the non-equilibrium phase diagram over a large range of growth conditions. A rigorous understanding of the interfacial conditions is provided, and comparisons are made to existing theories. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. PACS: 68.10.Jy; 82.65.Dp; 64.70.Dv

Solute trapping and solute drag in a phase-field model of rapid solidification
During rapid solidification, solute may be incorporated into the solid phase at a concentration significantly different from that predicted by equilibrium thermodynamics. This process, known as solute trapping, leads to a progressive reduction in the concentration change across the interface as the solidification rate increases. Theoretical treatments of rapid solidification using traditional s...
متن کاملA model for diffusion - controlled solidification of ternary alloys in mushy layers †
We describe a model for non-convecting diffusion-controlled solidification of a ternary (three-component) alloy cooled from below at a planar boundary. The modelling extends previous theory for binary alloy solidification by including a conservation equation for the additional solute component and coupling the conservation equations for heat and species to equilibrium relations from the ternary...
متن کاملNonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of rapid directional solidification
We present the results of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for the growth of a solid binary alloy from its liquid phase. The regime of high pulling velocities, V , for which there is a progressive transition from solute segregation to solute trapping, is considered. In the segregation regime, we recover the exponential form of the concentration profile within the liquid phase. Sol...
متن کاملKinetic Phase Diagrams of Ternary Al-Cu-Li System during Rapid Solidification: A Phase-Field Study
Kinetic phase diagrams in technical alloys at different solidification velocities during rapid solidification are of great importance for guiding the novel alloy preparation, but are usually absent due to extreme difficulty in performing experimental measurements. In this paper, a phase-field model with finite interface dissipation was employed to construct kinetic phase diagrams in the ternary...
متن کاملSolute trapping and diffusionless solidification in a binary system.
Numerous experimental data on the rapid solidification of binary systems exhibit the formation of metastable solid phases with initial (nominal) chemical composition. This fact is explained by complete solute trapping leading to diffusionless (chemically partitionless) solidification at a finite growth velocity of crystals. Special attention is paid to developing a model of rapid solidification...
