The microstructure evolution of Ti-Al peretectic system in transient stage and steady state in directional solidification was predicted via theoretical analysis. The solute distribution controlled by diffusion at and ahead the solid-liquid interface will determine whether the properitectic and peritectic phases can nucleate and grow ahead of the opposing solid phase. The formation of banding structure is possible in a certain composition range. At the steady state, a microstructure selection map was set up based on interface response function model. The microstructure of TiAl alloys with different aluminum content was studied with Bridgman directional solidification method. Some evidence in the experiment has been found to support the theoretical prediction.

AbstractWe have studied the spatial profile of the thermal transients that occur during and following the current pulsing associated with Peltier Interface Demarcation during directional solidification. Results for pure Bi are presented in detail and compared with corresponding results for the Bi/MnBi eutectic. Significant thermal transients occur throughout the sample that can be accounted for by the Peltier effect, the Thomson effect, and Joule heating. We have separated these effects and studied their behavior as a function of time, current density, and position with respect to the solid/liquid interface.

Abstract Directional solidification of the Fe - 4,3 wt % C alloy was performed with the pulling rate equal to v=83 μm/s. Sample was frozen during solidification to reveal the shape of the solid/liquid interface. Structures eutectic pyramid and spherolitic eutectic were observed. The solidification front of ledeburite eutectic was revealed. The leading phase was identified and defined.

We present evidence, gained from grand ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the solid/liquid interface, that an adsorbed layer of spherically symmetric liquid particles can have a crystal-like structure even if the solid phase is structureless.

The distribution of resistivity, impurity and polarity in multicrystalline silicon ingot prepared by directional solidification method was detected. The effect of impurity distribution on resistivity was also researched. The results show that the shapes of equivalence line of resistivity in the cross section and vertical section of the silicon ingot depend on the solid-liquid interface. The resistivity in the vertical section increases with the increasing of solidified height at the beginning of solidification and reaches to maximum at the polarity transition point, then decreases rapidly with the increasing of solidified height and tends to zero on the top of the ingot because of the high impurity concentration. Study proves that the variation of resistivity in the vertical section is mainly relevant to the concentration distribution of the impurities such as Al, B and P in the growth direction.

An experimental investigation of melting and cyclic melting and freezing around a vertical cylinder is reported. The studies encompass two cases: a plain vertical cylinder, and a vertical cylinder with fins. In the melting studies, the total heat transfer from the cylinder was measured as a function of time. In addition, measurements have been made of the solid-liquid interface shape after various melting times. In these studies, the solid phase was initially isothermal and either at its fusion temperature or subcooled below the fusion point. The experiments reveal the important influence of natural convection in the liquid phase in both unfinned and finned situations. Subcooling of the solid phase is observed to strongly inhibit heat transfer in the unfinned situation. In the experiment on cyclic melting and freezing, subcooling of the solid phase is once again found to have an important effect on the unfinned situation. Heat transfer from the finned cylinder is much less affected by solid-phase subcooling. All the experiments were performed with 99 percent pure n-eicosane paraffin.

In this work, we develop one- and two-dimensional phase-field simulations to approximate dendritic growth of a binary Al–2 wt% Si alloy. Simulations are performed for both isothermal as well as directional solidification. Anisotropic interface energies are included with fourfold symmetries, and the dilute alloy assumption is imposed. The isothermal results confirm the decrease in the maximum concentration for larger interface velocities as well as reveal the presence of parabolic, dendrite tips evolving along directions of maximum interface energy. The directional solidification results further confirm the formation of distinctive secondary dendritic arm structures that evolve at regular intervals along the unstable solid/liquid interface.
