This paper presents a summary of cellular and dendritic morphologies resulting from the upward directional solidification of Al – Ni alloys in a cylindrical crucible. We analysed the coupling of solid-liquid interface morphology with natural and forced convection. The influence of natural convection was first analyzed as a function of growth parameters (solute concentration, growth rate and thermal gradient). In a second step, the influence of axial vibrations on solidification microstructure was investigated by varying vibration parameters (amplitude and frequency). Experimental results were compared to preliminary numerical simulations and a good agreement is found for natural convection. In this study, the critical role of the mushy zone in the interaction between fluid flow and solidification microstructure is pointed out.

Directional solidification technique permits materials to grow along specific orientation, in order to obtain mechanical and/or physical anisotropy. The present research attempts to introduce the research work in the field of processing of some advanced materials by innovative directional solidification techniques performed at State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing and with author’s intended research work. The paper deals with the specific topics on state of the art of directional solidification: single crystal superalloy and Nd-Fe-B alloys under high thermal gradient, Cu-Ni alloys under deep supercooling of the melt. The relevant solidification phenomena, such as morphological evolution, crystal growth for multi-phases in the processing of directional solidification, are discussed briefly. The trends of developments of directional solidification techniques are also prospected.
