Microsegregation-free microstructures can form by solidifying at velocities beyond the absolute stability limit ($V_{\text{abs}}$), where solute partitioning is suppressed by a stable, planar solid-liquid interface. Producing such…
The thermal decomposition behavior, the microstructural evolution and its influence on the mechanical properties of a supersaturated Cu Co solid solution with ~100 nm average grain size prepared by severe plastic deformation is investigated…
The formation of microstructures in metallic alloys during hot metal forming involves simultaneous metallurgical complex phenomena. Traditional high-fidelity numerical frameworks used on the polycrystalline scale tend to focus on…
The evolution of solidification microstructures in ternary metallic alloys is investigated by adaptive finite element simulations of a general multicomponent phase-field model. A morphological transition from dendritic to globular growth is…
We study low-salt, binary aqueous suspensions of charged colloidal spheres of size ratio Phi = 0.57, number densities below the eutectic number density n_E, and number fractions of p = 1.00-0.40. The typical phase obtained by solidification…
Crystallization represents a fundamental process engendering solidification of a material and determines its microstructure. Driven by complex phenomena at the atomic scale, its understanding for alloys still remains elusive. The present…
Cellular or dendritic microstructures that result as a function of additive manufacturing solidification conditions in a Ni-based melt pool are simulated in the present work using three-dimensional phase-field simulations. A macroscopic…
The occurrence of stable decagonal quasicrystalline phase in Al-Co-Ni and Al-Cu-Co alloys through conventional solidification is well established. Earlier, we have studied the effect of Cu substitution in place of Co in the Al70 Co15Ni15…
Phase equilibria in the Al-Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta refractory complex concentrated alloy system were investigated using a high throughput experimental approach. A pseudo-ternary section of the quinary compositional space was prepared by a honeycomb…
Aluminum alloys, the most widely utilized lightweight structural materials, predominantly depend on coherent complex-structured nano-plates to enhance their mechanical properties. Despite several decades of research, the atomic-scale…
In this work we present an experimental study of structure and phase stability in ternary Cu-Sn-In alloys around 55 at.% Cu in the temperature range 100^{\circ}C < T < 550^{\circ}C. We have followed in real-time the sequence of phase…
We review how phase-field models contributed to the understanding of various aspects of crystal nucleation including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, and their role in microstructure evolution. We recall results obtained both by the…
This paper reports formation enthalpies of phases in the Al-Mn-Pd ternary alloy system as calculated from first principles using electronic density functional theory. We consider all crystal structures as reported in the assessed phase…
Phase field crystal methodology is applied, for the first time, to study the effect of alloy composition on the clustering behavior of a quenched/aged supersaturated ternary Al alloy system. An analysis of the work of formation is built…
We present a phase field theory for binary crystal nucleation. In the one-component limit, quantitative agreement is achieved with computer simulations (Lennard-Jones system) and experiments (ice-water system) using model parameters…
Nanoscale inhomogeneities are typical for numerous metallic alloys and crucially important for their practical applications. At the same time, stabilization mechanisms of such a state are poorly understood. We present a general overview of…
Ti/Cu multilayers with periods ranging from 4 to 52.5 nm were synthesized by magnetron sputtering to examine how the period thickness affects morphology, crystallization, texture development, and preservation of periodicity. The structural…
We report the observation of the homogenous nucleation of crystals in a dense layer of steel spheres confined between two horizontal plates vibrated vertically. Above a critical vibration amplitude, two-layer crystals with square symmetry…
The elasto-plastic material behavior, material strength and failure modes of metals fabricated by additive manufacturing technologies are significantly determined by the underlying process-specific microstructure evolution. In this work a…
Advanced phase-field techniques have been applied to address various aspects of polycrystalline solidification including different modes of crystal nucleation. The height of the nucleation barrier has been determined by solving the…
