Numerous experimental data on the rapid solidification of binary systems exhibit the formation of metastable solid phases with initial (nominal) chemical composition. This fact is explained by complete solute trapping leading to diffusionless (chemically partitionless) solidification at a finite growth velocity of crystals. Special attention is paid to developing a model of rapid solidification...

The solidification of gamma TiAl alloys is of interest to the aerospace and automotive industries. A gamma TiAl multicomponent alloy: Ti–45.5Al–4.7Nb–0.2C–0.2B (at. %) has been the focus of a study to investigate the solidification conditions that led to a Columnar to Equiaxed Transition (CET) in a directional solidification experiment where traditional Bridgman solidification was combined in s...

The primary factors that effect solid state diffusion during solidification are described and binary solute redistribution equations that permit estimation of the significance of solid state diffusion are discussed. Model calculations suggest that solid state diffusion of substitutional alloying elements in FCC alloys is insignificant under most processing conditions, while that of interstitial...

The present paper aims to investigate the solidification behavior and the forgeability of Aluminum alloy (LM6)-SiCp composites at different section of three-stepped composite castings. The temperature of the cast composites during solidification has measured by putting K-type thermocouples at the center of the each step/section, from which the solidification curves were constructed. The forgeab...

The phenomenon of impingement and solidification of a molten metal droplet on a substrate occurs in processes like thermal spray coating and spray casting. Molten metal droplet after impingement over a substrate becomes a splat after spreading and solidification. The phenomenon of spreading and solidification of a droplet can be understood by mathematical modeling. In the present work, the spre...
