Solidification of Immiscible Alloys and Convective Effect

Abstract:

A model describing the microstructure formation in a directionally solidified immiscible alloy under the convective effect is presented. The microstructure evolution in a directionally solidified Al-Pb alloy is investigated. It is demonstrated that convective flows have great effects on the solidification of immiscible alloys. A convective flow against the solidification direction causes an increase in the nucleation rate while a convective flow along the solidification direction causes a decrease in the nucleation rate. The convective flows lead to a more uneven distribution of the minority phase droplets in the melt. It causes an increase in the size of the largest minority phase droplets and is against the obtaining of the immiscible alloys with a well dispersed microstructure.
