Columnar-to-equiaxed transition in solidification processing of ALSi7 alloys in microgravity-the CETSOL project
Abstract : This paper gives an overview of the experiments on-board the International Space Station (ISS) performed so far by the CETSOL team. Al-7 wt% Si alloys with and without grain refiners were solidified in microgravity. Detailed grain structure analysis showed columnar growth in case of non-refined alloy, but the existence of a columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) in refined alloy. One main result is a sharp CET when increasing the solidification velocity and a progressive CET for lowering the temperature gradient. Applying a front tracking model this behavior was confirmed numerically for sharp CET. Using a CAFE model both segregation and grain structures were numerically modeled and show a fair agreement with the experimental findings.
