Heterogeneous melting kinetics in polycrystalline aluminum.

The heterogeneous melting kinetics of polycrystalline aluminum is investigated by a theoretical model which represents the overall melting rate as a functional of the Weibull grain-size-distribution. It is found that the melting process is strongly affected by the mean-grain-diameter, but is insensi...
