This is the first account of the history of modelling dendritic and cellular solidification. While
Part I reviewed the progress up to the year 2000 [Kurz W, Fisher DJ, Trivedi R. Progress in …

Grain refinement leads, in general, to a decreased tendency to hot tearing, a more dispersed
and refined porosity distribution, and improved directional feeding characteristics during …

This paper provides insights into the effect of high thermal gradients and cooling rates on
equiaxed grain nucleation and growth in conditions similar to those experienced during …

The grain refining behaviour of a novel Al-Ti-Nb-B alloy in Al-Si melt with low cooling rate
was in-situ observed by synchrotron radiography. Nucleation and growth of α-Al dendrites in …

The concept of constitutional supercooling (CS) including the term itself was first described
and discussed qualitatively by Rutter and Chalmers in order to understand the formation of …

Synchrotron radiation (SR), as a result of its high‐intensity, brilliant, monochromatic, and
collimated beams, is becoming one of the most crucial components of research in various …

A comprehensive study on the heterogeneous nucleation and grain growth of Al-10 wt.% Cu
alloys inoculated with Al-5Ti-1B was carried out. To further reveal the solute segregation …

The evolution of dendritic microstructures during the solidification of a Mg-15 wt% Sn alloy
was investigated in situ via fast synchrotron X-ray microtomography. To enable these in situ …

In the current generation of 3D electronic packaging, multiple reflows are often required
during soldering. In addition, electronic packages may be subjected to additional solder …

The synchrotron radiation technology has recently emerged as a powerful tool to
characterize the real-time microstructure evolution during solidification of alloys. Compared …
