Book Description
This portion of the program was conducted for the purpose of developing a predictive model of heat flow and solidification for aluminum alloys produced under the high cooling rate conditions achievable in atomization processes. It is a combined experimental and theoretical study of the relationship between the important solidification variables (e.g. cooling rate, temperature gradients, interface shape and velocity, supercooling and transformation kinetics) and the structure of rapidly solidified aluminum alloy powders. This report covers that portion of the investigations which addressed the characterization of the thermal history of rapid solidification in metal droplets, and its effects on powder microstructure. The main effort was focused on modelling the heat flow during solidification, and relationships were established between the atomization parameters, the growth kinetics, the interface velocity and undercooling, and other important variables. Numerical solutions based on the enthalpy model were developed, and their results compared to the trends predicted from the Newtonian model. The analysis covered situations of isothermal solidification at the melting temperature, as well as those where significant undercoolings are necessary for nucleation and growth. The implications of single vs. multiple nucleation were also discussed. The concepts developed from the heat flow analysis were coupled to microstructural observations in Aluminum alloy powders, mostly in the submicron size range. It was shown that reducing the particle size decreases the extent of segregation, promotes multiple nucleation and the formation of twins during solidification.

Book Description
The development of refined microstructures for dispersion strengthening of Aluminum alloys by rapid solidification is related to the undercooling at nucleation and during competitive crystal growth. With controlled droplet samples the important processing parameters that govern undercooling in the powders have been identified and include powder size and coating melt cooling rate and superheat. The droplet method has yielded measured undercoolings of 175 C for AL and values near 300 C for some AL alloys. Droplet studies have been valuable in examining the solidification pathways including thermal history effects associated with rapid solidification and dispersoid formation in Aluminum-Nickel, Aluminum-Iron, and Aluminum-Beryllium alloys. Based on the analysis of solidification pathways, microstructure maps may be developed to identify the processing that can yield fine-scale eutectics, metastable structures or suppression of coarse primary intermetallic phases which are useful for the development of dispersoid structures.

Book Description
Pulling together information previously scattered throughout numerous research articles into one detailed resource, this book connects the fundamentals of structure formation during solidification with the practically observed structure and defect patterns in billets and ingots. The author examines the formation of a structure, properties, and defects in the as-cast material in tight correlation to the physical phenomena involved in the solidification and the process parameters. Compiling recent results and data, the book discusses the fundamentals of solidification together with metallurgical and technological aspects of DC casting. It gives new insight and perspective into DC casting research.

Book Description
This book explores the application of external physical fields to the solidification processing of metallic alloys. Leading academics from around the world present comprehensive and critical reviews on state-of-the-art research and discuss possible future directions. Major physical fields, including electromagnetic, electric, acoustic, and thermal, are considered. In addition, the most advanced synchrotron X-ray based real-time and in-situ studies and numerical modeling methodologies are reviewed and discussed, with a special emphasis on their applications to the solidification processes. Throughout, all chapters are illustrated with both historical and very recent research cases, including typical examples of in-situ studies, modeling, and simulation. This book contains essential knowledge and information suitable for a wide audience, from undergraduate and postgraduate students to academics, practicing researchers, and engineers in materials, metallurgy, and manufacturing.
