• Curvature 2/r for sphere

• Gibbs Thomson ~ 10-7 Km

•Curvature : tends to maximise scale

•Diffusion: tends to minimise scale

Summary/ Conclusions

• Solidification is accomplished by external cooling of a melt. Needed for decreasing the temperature and removing latent heat of fusion

• Metals solidify at a distinct freezing point, alloys have a solidification interval (freezing range)

• Solidification microstructure will depend on both composition, (C0) constitution (k, m) and process (G, V)

• Control of V and G will differ between casting processes• Solidification will occur in mushy zone. Extent of MZ will depend on

temperature gradient and freezing range• Crystal may grow directionally as columnar grains (G>0) or freely from

an undercooled melt as equiaxed grains (G<0)• Creation of s/l interface will require undercooling. ΔTr will increase with

increased curvature (small crystal radii)

Summary/ Conclusions

• Scale of solidification microstructure will be determined by diffusion (decreasing) and curvature (increasing)

• Solidification of alloys means redistribution of solute between s and l. Determined by distribution coefficient, k.
