Computer aided cooling curve analysis (CACCA) is an online prediction tool for the determination of solidification characteristics of metals or alloys. The results of CACCA can be used to accurately determine latent heat and solid fraction needed for modeling of the solidification process. Newtonian and Fourier analysis techniques adopt a data base line fitting technique to the first derivative curve for calculation of the solid fraction and latent heat of solidification. This paper describes the theoretical and experimental procedures involved Newtonian and Fourier analysis techniques with reference to an Al-22% Si alloy. The correlations between the solid fraction and temperature/time for the alloy were determined.


The heats of dissociation of chlorine, bromine, and iodine have been determined by thermal methods and estimated to be 58·9, 45·2 and 35·2 kilo-cals. respectively. But no data are yet known concerning the heat of dissociation of fluorine. It is very difficult to subject fluorine to the same treatment as Cl 2 , Br 2 and I 2 ( i. e ., heating to a high temperature in a sealed quartz bulb) owing to its extreme chemical reactivity, and hence no direct method of determining the heat of dissociation of fluorine has yet been devised. In the present paper I have determined it indirectly by interpretation of the absorption spectra of alkali fluorides (for the present only NaF and KF). A short theory of the experiment is given below.

Both thermal analysis (TA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been used since long to evaluate latent heat release and solid fraction evolution during solidification of metallic alloys. TA makes use of cooling curves recorded under "natural" cooling while DTA consists in recording the temperature difference between the sample temperature and an inert reference during a controlled cooling, i.e. at imposed constant cooling rate. In both cases, the solid fraction evolution is deduced from a calculation of the latent heat release as estimated by means of a heat transfer model. This paper provides a comparison of such evaluations performed on one Al-Si alloy.


The absorption spectra of the molecules SiO, GeO and SnO have been examined in the region 1250 to 2000Å. A number of new band systems have been found, and vibrational analyses have been carried out. The determination of the dissociation enérgies of these molecules is discussed: the values derived spectroscopically for SiO, GeO and SnO are 185∙ 0 ±6∙ 8 , 155∙ 8 ±5∙ 3 and 126∙ 0 ±4∙ 9 kcal (0° K) respectively. The values for GeO and SnO are in satisfactory agreement with the results of thermochemical work, but the result for SiO suggests that the value of the latent heat of sublimation of silicon is higher than has been suggested, and indicates L si ⋍100 kcal. The correlation between the states of carbon monoxide and of silicon monoxide is briefly considered, and a provisional value for the ionization potential of SiO, 10∙5 1 eV, is derived.
