We study spacing selection in directional solidification of Al-Cu alloys under transient growth conditions. New experimental results are presented which reveal that dendritic spacing versus solidification rate evolves in an almost step-wise…
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…
Based on classical concept, solidification of alloys is a direct transition from liquid phase to solid phase, by which dendrites and dendritic segregation are produced. Through in-situ and real time morphology observation and XRD test…
The effect of composition on microstructure both at the length scale of the secondary dendrite arm spacing and nano-sized dispersoids during homogenization of Al-Zn-Cu-Mg-Zr alloys has been studied. A comprehensive model that can predict…
Understanding the composition evolution of grain boundaries and grain boundary precipitation at near-atomic scale in aluminum alloys is crucial to tailor mechanical properties and to increase resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion…
Investigations of directionally solidifying melt pools during metal additive manufacturing (AM) reveal that the resulting subgrain cellular structures often grow along crystalline orientations different from the temperature gradient…
We introduce a new phase-field formulation of rapid alloy solidification that quantitatively incorporates nonequilibrium effects at the solid-liquid interface over a very wide range of interface velocities. Simulations identify a new…
We use a phase-field model to study the effect of confinement on dendritic growth, in a pure material solidifying in an undercooled melt, and in the directional solidification of a dilute binary alloy. Specifically, we observe the effect of…
Solidification is an important process in many alloy processing routes. The solidified microstructure of alloys is usually made up of dendrites, eutectics or a combination of both. The evolving morphologies are largely determined by the…
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 search for effective methods to fabricate bulk single-phase quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe alloys is currently an important task. Crucial to solving this problem is to understand mechanisms of phase formation in this system. Here we study…
During the directional solidification of peritectic alloys, two stable solid phases (parent and peritectic) grow competitively into a metastable liquid phase of larger impurity content than either solid phase. When the parent or both solid…
A novel low cost, near equi-atomic alloy comprising of Al, Cu, Fe and Mn is synthesized using arc-melting technique. The cast alloy possesses a dendritic microstructure where the dendrites consist of disordered FCC and ordered FCC phases.…
Interfacial segregation can stabilize grain structures and even lead to grain boundary complexion transitions. However, understanding of the complexity of such phenomena in polycrystalline materials is limited, as most studies focus on…
Strain heterogeneity at the microstructural level plays a vital role in the deformation and fracture behaviour of dual or multi-phase materials. In the present work, the strain heterogeneity, localization and partitioning arising at the…
This work presents a pilot study on a strained complex concentrated alloy based on refractory elements: MoNbTaTiZr. Initially, the as-cast and homogenization-annealed conditions were characterized. After casting, the alloy consists of two…
We present a multiscale modelling framework that integrates density functional theory (DFT) with a phase-field model (PFM) to explore the intricate dynamics of grain growth in nanocrystalline {\alpha}-Fe single-phase alloy in the presence…
A multi-phase field model is employed to study the microstructural evolution of an alloy undergoing liquid dealloying. The model proposed extends upon the original approach of Geslin et al. to consider dealloying in the presence of grain…
Solute segregation in alloys is a key phenomenon which affects various material characteristics such as embrittlement, grain growth and precipitation kinetics. In this work, the segregation energies of Y, Zr, and Nb to a \textgreek{S}5…
Grain growth competition during solidification determines microstructural features, such as dendritic arm spacings, segregation pattern, and grain texture, which have a key impact on the final mechanical properties. During metal additive…
