A binary alloy PFM (Phase-Field Model) which incorporates the flow field equations is constructed considering the dependence of microstructure on convention. Al-Cu binary alloy is investigated numerically based on the model, and the reasonable computational methods is studied for solving PFM, the effect of convention on dendritic growth and microsegregation patterns is implemented successfully. The computed results indicate that, the larger convention velocity U, the more developed the upstream dendritic branches is, and the more acutely the solute composition in the upstream dendritic solid fluctuates is. But the severity of microsegregation ahead of interface reduces. Nevertheless, the more undeveloped the downstream dendritic branches, the more acutely the solute composition in the the downstream dendritic solid fluctuates is, but the severity of microsegregation ahead of interface aggravates.

Based on a thin interface limit 3D phase-field model by coupled the anisotropy of interfacial energy and self-designed AADCR to improve on the computational methods for solving phase-field, 3D dendritic growth in pure undercooled melt is implemented successfully. The simulation authentically recreated the 3D dendritic morphological fromation, and receives the dendritic growth rule being consistent with crystallization mechanism. An example indicates that AADCR can decreased 70% computational time compared with not using algorithms for a 3D domain of size 300×300×300 grids, at the same time, the accelerated algorithms’ computed precision is higher and the redundancy is small, therefore, the accelerated method is really an effective method.

We study the effect of force convection and temperature on the double dendrite growth during the solidification of binary alloy using a phase-field model. The mass and momentum conservation equations are solved using the Simple algorithm, and the thermal governing equation is numerically solved using an alternating implicit finite difference method. The results indicate that dendritic grows unsymmetrically under a forced flow, the growth velocity of the upstream tip is faster than the downstream tip. The downstream tip of the first dendrite and the upstream tip of the second dendrite are influenced each other, the upstream tip of the second dendrite will Coarsen, and the concentration at the boundary between them is the highest. Moreover, the interaction between the two dendrites is more and more obvious with the increasing of the temperature.

PFM (phase field method) was employed to study microstructure evolution, and considering the effect of solute concentration to the undercooling, we developed a phase field model for binary alloy on the basis of pure substance model. In the paper, the temperature field and solute field were coupled together in the phase field model to calculate the crystal growth of magnesium alloy in directional solidification. The simulation results showed a non-planar crystal growth of planar to cellular to columnar dendrite, the comparison of different dendrite patterns were carried out in the numerical simulation, and with the increasing of the anisotropy, the second dendrite arms became more developed.
