1. Influence of Directional Solidification on the Mechanical Properties of Cu-Al-Be-Nb-Ni Alloy
Copper-based polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs) have limitations for many practical applications due to their low superelasticity and low ductility. In order to overcome this situation, in recent years, the production of copper-based SMAs by directional solidification process has attracted the interest of many researches. In this sense, the present w

2. Length Scale of the Dendritic Array Tailoring Strength of a 5052 Aluminum Alloy
The present research aims to characterize 5xxx alloy series, considering chemistries based on the commercial 5052 alloy with three Mg contents (2.4wt.%, 2.6wt.% and 3.2wt.%) through transient directional solidification experiments. Very representative incoming impurities to a given twin-roll casting procedure were reached. As such, the Si, Fe, Cu, Mn and Cr-

3. Effect of Solidification Processing Parameters and Silicon Content on the Dendritic Spacing and Hardness in Hypoeutectic Al-Si Alloys
Aluminium with silicon as alloying element, form a class of material providing the most significant part of all material casting manufactured materials. These alloys have a wide range of applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. It is widely recognized that moderate addition of silicon to aluminum, significantly improves the resulting mechanic

4. Effect of Growth Velocity and Zn Content on Microhardness in Directionally Solidified Al-Zn Alloys
In this study, Al-xZn (x=1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 wt. %) alloys were prepared using metals of 99.99% high purity in the vacuum atmosphere. These alloys were directionally solidified upward with a constant temperature gradient, G (10.3 K/mm) and different growth velocities (V) between 8.25 and 165 µm/s in the directional solidification apparatus. The experiment

5. Preparation and Growth Characterization of Al2Cu Phase Crystal with the Single Orientation Under Directional Solidification
Through decreasing the sample size, the regular faceted rectangular Al2Cu phase crystal was prepared under directional solidification. Effects of sample size on the microstructure morphologies and orientations of intermetallic Al2Cu phase crystal growth at 10 µm/s have been characterized and investigated. The transverse-section microstructure of primary Al2

6. Experimental Investigation of Ternary Al-Si-Cu Alloy Solidified with Unsteady-State Heat Flow Conditions
Ternary Al-9.0wt%Si-4.0wt%Cu alloy was solidified in a vertical directional solidification system under unsteady-state heat flow conditions. The resulting dendritic morphology and microsegregation were investigated. A more detailed analysis was dedicated to the microsegregation phenomena where a multielement interaction was observed. The solidification param

7. Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Sn-Bi-Cu ternary eutectic alloy produced by directional solidification
Sn-36Bi-22Cu (wt.%) ternary eutectic alloy was prepared using vacuum melting furnace and casting furnace. The samples were directionally solidified upwards solidification rate varying from 8.3 to 166 µm/s and at a constant temperature gradient (4.2 K/mm) in a Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace. The composition analysis of the phases and the in

8. Correlations of microstructure and mechanical properties of the ternary Sn-9wt%Zn-2wt%Cu solder alloy
The microstructure length-scales (dendritic and eutectic), morphologies and tensile properties of a ternary Sn-9wt.%Zn-2wt.%Cu alloy are compared with those of a binary eutectic Sn-9wt.%Zn alloy. The following experimental/analytical steps were performed: transient directional solidification experiments of the Sn-9wt.%Zn-2wt.%Cu alloy; measurements of second

9. Effect of the T6 Heat Treatment on Microhardness of a Directionally Solidified Aluminum-Based 319 Alloy
Aluminum alloys of the ANSI series 319 present Si and Cu as the main alloying elements and the mechanical strength of these alloys can be improved by the precipitation of the metastable Al2Cu phase during the ageing heat treatment. In this paper, the Al-5.5wt.%Si-3wt.%Cu alloy was elaborated and solidified in a water-cooled horizontal directional solidificat

10. Macrosegregation of Impurities in a Metallurgical Silicon Ingot After Transient Directional Solidification
Metallurgical grade silicon was melted and directionally solidified in transient conditions by extracting heat from the base of a cylindrical ingot and inserting heat at the ingot top. A heat-transfer mathematical model was implemented to predict the solidification velocity and temperature gradient using cooling curves measured directly in the silicon melt.

12. Transient Directional Solidification of Cast Iron: Microstructure Formation, Columnar to Equiaxed Transition and Hardness
A number of applications may require cast iron. Engine cylinder blocks, flywheels, gearbox cases, machine-tool bases may be manufactured by using grey cast iron while bearing surfaces with white cast iron. Thus, understanding the solidification behaviour of eutectic cast iron becomes an essential task, with certain points to be accomplished. Transient direct
