Abstract

Considering the local linear superposition of the species and combining the calculation of phase diagram, the columnar and equiaxed growth behaviours are investigated systematically during solidification of multicomponent alloys. A theoretical model is developed to describe the columnar to equiaxed transition during multicomponent alloy solidification by taking account of the competition between nucleation and growth ahead of a dendrite array, which shows a good agreement with the experimental results.
