In most casting applications, dendritic microstructure morphology is not desired because it leads to poor mechanical properties. Forced convection causing sufficient shearing in the mushy zone of the partially solidified ...

During solidification of non-eutectic alloys, non-isothermal phase change causes dendritic growth of solid front with liquid phase entrapped within the dendritic network producing the mushy region. Solidification causes ...

The primary focus of the present work is the development of macro-models for numerical simulation of binary alloy solidification processes, consistent with microscopic phase-change considerations, with a particular emphasis ...

Melt convection and solid phase movement play an important role in solidification processes, which significantly influence the formation of grain structures and solute segregations. In general, the melt convection and grain ...

In several applications of casting, dendritic microstructure is not desirable as it results in poor mechanical properties. Enhancing the fluid flow in the mushy zone by stirring is one of the means to suppress this dendritic ...
