The columnar to equiaxed transition of horizontal unsteady-state directionally solidified Al-Si alloys

Experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of thermal parameters on the columnar to equiaxed transition during the horizontal unsteady-state directional solidification of Al-Si alloys. The parameters analyzed include the heat transfer coefficients, growth rates, cooling rates, temperatu...
