Curvature of micropores in Al-Cu alloys: An X-ray tomography study

Micropores formed in Al-Cu alloys cast under controlled conditions have been analyzed using high-resolution X-ray tomography. The influence of inoculation conditions, copper content, cooling rate and initial hydrogen content on the morphology of pores has ...

Effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient for solidifying aluminium alloys

Michel Rappaz, Ludger Weber, Milan Felberbaum

An effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient has been calculated for two solidifying Al - 4.5 wt.% Cu and Al - 10 wt.% Cu alloys as a function of the volume fraction of solid. For this purpose, in situ X-ray tomography was performed on these alloys. For eac ...

Porosity in Aluminum Alloys : Visualization, Characterization, and Modeling

Milan Felberbaum

Porosity is one of the major defects in castings because it reduces the mechanical properties of a cast piece [1]. Porosity formation results from the effect of two concomitant mechanisms, namely solidification shrinkage and segregation/precipitation of ga ...

Phase-field simulation of micropores constrained by a solid network

Alain Jacot, Milan Felberbaum, Hossein Meidani

A 2D phase-field model has been developed in order to describe the morphology of a pore forming within interdendritic liquid channels and the geometrical effect of mechanical contacts with neighboring solid. The distribution of the solid, liquid and gas ph ...

A Phase Field Model For A Geometrical Description Of Micropores Constrained By A Solid Network

Alain Jacot, Milan Felberbaum

A 2D phase field model has been developed to describe the shape of a pore formed within interdendritic liquid channels. The influence of the solid, which can force the pore to adopt a non-spherical shape, is taken into account through the geometry of the d ...

In situ X-ray tomography observation of inhomogeneous deformation in semi-solid aluminium alloys

Michel Rappaz, Milan Felberbaum

The aim of this paper is to report the very first in situ observations of the deformation behaviour of an Al-Cu alloy in the semisolid state by using ultrafast, high-resolution X-ray microtomography. It is shown that this deformation is non-homogeneous and ...
