The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...

(a) Solidification pathway and schematic diagrams of crystal growth during the directional solidification process (b) without and (c) with a high magnetic field at low velocity and with a high ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

Different methods are employed to vary cooling rates for magnesium alloys during the solidification process from liquid to solid phase and after the solution/aging heat treatment. These include using ...

Researchers observed how metal microstructures evolve during 3D printing, offering insights to improve strength, reliability, and design of advanced components. In a form of additive manufacturing, ...

Also known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive new manufacturing technique that is employed to create metallic parts with enhanced mechanical properties in contrast to other ...

LEMONT, Ill., September 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a cake, but with far ...

casting is a very complicated process. The most important part is the rate at which a casting cools down. Many properties of the casting are affected by this rate, which eventually determines the ...

The new research has developed a computational model to reveal how solute trapping occurs during the rapid solidification process in additive manufacturing (AM). Effect of solute trapping on the rapid ...
