Simulation and examination of directional solidification characteristics of hyper-eutectic Al-38wt%Cu alloys

The present work deals with the solidification behavior of hyper-eutectic Al-38wt%Cu alloy. Various aspects of solidification in the Al-Cu system are studied. The formation of channel segregates or freckles during vertical solidification of Al-38wt%Cu alloy is simulated. The simulation is based on...
