The Origins of Spontaneous Grain Refinement in Deeply Undercooled Metallic Melts

Phase-field modeling of rapid alloy solidification, in which the rejection of latent heat from the growing solid cannot be ignored, has lagged significantly behind the modeling of conventional casting practices which can be approximated as isothermal. This is in large part due to the fact that if re...
