Abstract
X-ray micro-tomography has been applied recently in a wide range of research fields (damage in materials, solidification …). Thanks to the high flux of synchrotrons and specific cameras the total time to acquire a scan was considerably reduced. The use of a specific camera based on CMOS technology allows dividing the acquisition time for a complete scan by a factor of 100. Therefore we have been able to perform in situ solidification of aluminium-copper alloys at high cooling rates (between 1 and 10°C/s) and we will show results concerning the evolution of the microstructure in 3D in the early stage of solidification, in particular the morphology of the solid phase and the kinetics of growth.
