In the presence of sufficiently strong surface energy anisotropy, the equilibrium shape of an isothermal crystal may include corners or edges. Models of edges have, to date, involved the regularization of the corresponding free-boundary problem resulting in equilibrium shapes with smoothed out edges. In this paper, we take a new approach and consider how a phase-field model, which provides a diffuse description of an interface, can be extended to the consideration of edges by an appropriate regularization of the underlying mathematical model. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we develop an approximate solution which corresponds to a smoothed out edge from which we are able to determine the associated edge energy.

Numerical simulations based on a new regularized phase field model were presented, simulating the solidification of magnesium alloy. The effects of weak and strong interfacial energy anisotropy on the dendrite growth are studied. The results indicate that with weak interfacial energy anisotropy, the entire dendrite displays six-fold symmetry and no secondary branch appeared. Under strong interfacial energy anisotropy conditions, corners form on both the main stem and the tips of the side branches of the dendrites, the entire facet dendrite displays six-fold symmetry. As the solidification time increases, the tip temperature and velocity of the dendrite and facet dendrite finally tend to stable values. The stable velocity of the facet dendrite is 0.4 at ε6 is 0.05 and this velocity is twice that observed (0.2) at ε6 is 0.005.
