Simulation of Bridgman Directional Solidification Microstructure Using Phase Field Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the directional solidification microstructure of Bridgman system was simulated using phase-field method, and different calculated results were obtained with four pulling velocities. When the pulling velocity is 0.06 cm/s, the columnar crystals competitively grow in the initial stage, and have a necking phenomenon in the last stage. When the pulling velocity is 0.04 cm/s, the columnar crystals become thinner and competitively grow all the time, and the microsegregation is bigger. When the pulling velocity is 1.00 cm/s, planar interface comes back, and solute trapping takes place. The columnar crystals become much thinner, and microsegregation decreases. When the pulling velocity is 3.00 cm/s, the grain boundary of columnar crystals becomes unconspicuous, and the degree of microsegregation approaches 1.
