Microstructural Modeling of Mg Alloys and Experimental Validation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A systematic investigation was carried out in the present study to study the impact of solidification variables like thermal gradient (G), solidification velocity (V) and cooling rate on the second phase fraction and microsegregration in Mg-Al (3, 6 , 9 wt.%) binary alloys. Solidification experiments such as directional solidification and gravity castings were conducted to obtain a cooling rate in the range of 0.05-700 K/s. The experimental results were tested against the microstructural modeling data and a reasonable agreement was obtained between them.
