Abstract
A model has been proposed for describing the solidification of undercooled metallic melts, on the basis that the solidification is considered as the sum of a liquid/solid cooling process without latent heat release and a latent heat releasing process without cooling. Application of the model to undercooled solidification of nickel, cobalt, zirconium, and Al-11.3Si-2Cu-0.4Fe alloy samples shows good fits to the temperature curves, and the fitting results of solid fraction curves are consistent with that from the available methods.
