Droplet solidification has received much attention over the last two decades due its
relevance in natural processes as well as engineering applications. Study of droplet …

Our current understanding of heterogeneous nucleation has been dominated by the
classical nucleation theory (CNT) with little progress of significance being made in past 100 …

A numerical model is presented for the prediction of grain size in inoculated castings and is
tested against measured grain sizes obtained in standard grain-refiner tests on aluminium …

Nanometer-sized In, Sn, Bi, Cd, and Pb particles were homogeneously embedded in an Al
matrix through ball milling of powder mixtures of pure immiscible elements. The melting and …

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was employed to produce Fe and Fe-(10–50 vol%) Cu
immiscible alloys using elemental powders. The addition of 10 vol% Cu to Fe resulted in …

The semi-solid slurries of the CoCrCuFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) were fabricated through
the recrystallization and partial melting (RAP) process by cold-rolling and partial remelting …

A series of high-purity Al–5 wt.% Si alloys with trace additions of Sr, Fe and P were prepared
by using arc-melting and subsequent melt-spinning. The nucleation phenomenon …

For heterogeneous nucleation of solidification, the conditions for initiation of solid grains on
nucleant areas of defined size are analysed. Calculations of the work of formation show that …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid development of nanocalorimetry, a novel
materials characterization technique that employs micromachined calorimetric sensors. The …

Dual face-centered cubic (FCC) CoCrCu 1.2 FeNi semi-solid billets were prepared by
semisolid isothermal treatment of wrought high entropy alloy (HEA)(SSITWH) method, and …
