  2. 1. On the Nucleation and Inoculation of Metals

    Author : Lena Magnusson; Hasse Fredriksson; Peter Schumacher; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solidification; nucleation; inoculation; undercooling; interface energy; refractory metals; latent heat; inclusions; nodular cast iron; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Latent heat during recalesence and nucleation and post-recalesence temperature was analysed for refractory metals. An effect on latent heat was found by alloying the pure elements with other refractories. Latent heat was found to be 15-65% of tabulated values. Interface energy was evaluated from undercooling experiments. READ MORE

  5. 3. Phase-field modeling of diffusion controlled phase transformations

    Author : Irina Loginova; KTH; []
    Keywords : phase-field; dendritic growth; grain boundary; Widmanstaetten plate; solidification;

    Abstract : Diffusion controlled phase transformations are studied bymeans of the phase-field method. Morphological evolution ofdendrites, grains and Widmanst\"atten plates is modeled andsimulated.Growth of dendrites into highly supersaturated liquids ismodeled for binary alloy solidification.

  6. 4. Microstructure Formation During Solidification and Solid State Transformation in Compacted Graphite Iron

    Author : Mathias König; Magnus Wessén; Ingvar L. Svensson; Jorge Sikora; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cast Iron; CGI; Microstructure Formation; Mechanical Properties; Modelling; Solidification; Solid State Transformation;

    Abstract : Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is rapidly becoming an attractive alternative material for engine components in the automotive industry, replacing lamellar graphite iron (LGI) in applications where high mechanical strength is desired. However, the gain in mechanical strength comes with a cost; thermal conductivity, process control and machining are three areas that are more challenging for CGI. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the solidification of Al alloys during microgravity

    Author : Johan Dahlström; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thermal analyses have been performed on Al, Al-Cu alloys,Al-Sn alloys, Pb, Sn, Pb-Sn alloys and Al-based amorphousalloys were also investigated. The cooling rates varied fromless than a Kelvin per minute to more than 10,000 Kelvin persecond. Solidification was made under normal gravity and undermicrogravity conditions. READ MORE
