Modeling of percolation of globular-equiaxed grains in Al-Cu alloys

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Christophe Mondoux

A new mesoscopic model able to describe percolation of globular-equiaxed grains, highly relevant for hot tearing formation in castings, has been developed. This model is inspired from the granular model of Sistaninia et al. [1-5] that considers polyhedral ...

Three-dimensional phase-field simulation of micropore formation during solidification: Morphological analysis and pinching effect

Michel Rappaz, Alain Jacot, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Hossein Meidani

A three-dimensional (3-D) multiphase-field model has been developed in order to study the formation of a micropore constrained to grow in a solid network (i.e. pinching effect). The model accounts for the pressure difference due to capillarity between liqu ...

Study of the twinned dendrite tip shape I : Phase-field modeling

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica

The growth kinetics advantage of twinned aluminum dendrites over regular ones is still an unsolved problem of solidification. Although it is linked to the tip geometry, the influence of a coherent (1 1 1) twin plane on a < 1 1 0 > twinned dendrite tip is u ...

Phase Field Modelling Of Twinned Dendrite Growth

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica

Twinned dendrite growth has been found to occur in aluminum alloys when critical thermal conditions (G approximate to 100 K/cm, nu(s) approximate to 1 mm/s) and a slight convection in the melt are present during directional solidification. Split in their t ...

A 3D Granular Model Of Equiaxed-Granular Solidification

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, André Phillion

The solidification of an aluminum-copper alloy has been simulated in 3D using a granular model. Compared to previous similar 2D approaches for where only one phase is continuous, the extension to 3D allows for concurrent continuity of the solid and liquid ...
