Solidification morphology directly impacts the mechanical properties of materials; hence
many models of the morphological evolution of dendritic structures have been formulated …

The scale of solidification microstructures directly impacts micro-segregation, grain size, and
other factors which control strength. Using in situ high speed synchrotron X-ray tomography …

Mushy zone refers to the two-phase mixed region appearing between the solid and liquid
region during solid-liquid phase change. The microstructural evolution within mushy zone is …

The paper presents detailed analyses of solidification experiments performed on a refined Al-
20 wt.% Cu alloy using the SFINX (Solidification Furnace with IN situ X-radiography) …

An analytical model describing liquid droplet and dendrite arm migration due to temperature
gradient zone melting (TGZM) is derived rigorously for both static and dynamic conditions …

This paper deals with a series of experiments dedicated to the analysis of the time evolution
of a mushy zone in a fixed temperature gradient, carried out on the BM05 beamline at the …

We present phase field simulation results of the directional solidification of an Alsingle bond
Cu4wt% alloy followed by a holding stage during which the mushy zone solidifies in a static …

In this paper, we present a newly developed near-isothermal X-ray transparent furnace for in
situ imaging of solidification processes in thin metallic samples. We show that the furnace is …

The question of the transient interface conditions in various severe accident situations,
involving multi-component and multi-phase material mixtures has until now remained largely …

Abstract As-cast aluminum-7 wt.% ailicon alloy sample rods were re-melted and directionally
solidified on Earth which resulted in uniform dendritically aligned arrays. These arrays were …
