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.

Competitive Growth

Phase field method (PFM) offers the prospect of carrying out realistic numerical calculation on dendrite growth in metallic systems. The dendritic growth process of multiple dendrites and direcitonal solidification during isothermal solidifications in a Fe-0.5mole%C binary alloy were simulated using phase field model. Competitive growth of multiple equiaxed dendrites were simulated, and the effect of anisotropy on the solute segregation and microstructural dedritic growth pattern in directional solidification process was studied in the paper. The simulation results showed the impingement of arbitrarily oriented grains, and the grains began to impinge and coalesce the adjacent grains with time going on, which made the dendrite growth inhibited obviously. In the directional solidification, the maximum concentration gradient showed in the dendrite tip, and highest solute concentration existed at the bottom of the dendrites. With the increasing of the anisotropy, dendrite tip radius became smaller, and the crystal structure is more uniform and dense.

Fine Mesh

Complex dendritic structures can be simulated directly by phase field method. However, phase field method needs a very fine mesh computing and memory requirements. A new calculation method named zone partitioning sequential calculation method is proposed to expand the simulation area of phase field method. The simulation area can be divided into several parts, and the parts can be calculated one by one in a certain order by the new method. This new method can reduce the computing and memory requirements of single calculation, because a part of the simulation area is less than the whole simulation area. Although this method could make error in the interface of different parts of the simulation area when the grains go through the interface, but the error has less effect on the grain growth. By using phase field method, coupled with zone partitioning sequential calculation method, the simulation of the directional solidification process of Al-Cu binary alloy is operated. The results show that the new method can be applied to phase field simulation of binary alloy solidification in a large area. The simulation results have certain accuracy and reliability.

Pulling Velocity

In this paper, the directional solidification microstructure of Bridgman system was simulated using phase-field method, and different calculated results were obtained with four pulling velocities. When the pulling velocity is 0.06 cm/s, the columnar crystals competitively grow in the initial stage, and have a necking phenomenon in the last stage. When the pulling velocity is 0.04 cm/s, the columnar crystals become thinner and competitively grow all the time, and the microsegregation is bigger. When the pulling velocity is 1.00 cm/s, planar interface comes back, and solute trapping takes place. The columnar crystals become much thinner, and microsegregation decreases. When the pulling velocity is 3.00 cm/s, the grain boundary of columnar crystals becomes unconspicuous, and the degree of microsegregation approaches 1.
