Abstract

Microstructural transitions occurring during solidification processes may be described in terms of three dimensionless parameters, s, p and σC, which include among them various processing variables and relevant material constants. The dimensionless parameter, s, in particular offers a convenient description of both planar-cellular and cell-dendrite transitions. The relationships between σC, s and p predicted by various dendrite growth models have been summarized.
