Permeability Measurements of 3D Microstructures Generated by Phase Field Simulation of the Solidification of an Al-Si Alloy during Chill Casting

The permeability of the semi-solid state is important for the compensation of volume shrinkage during solidification, since insufficient melt feeding can cause casting defects such as hot cracks or pores. Direct measurement of permeability during the dynamical evolution of solidification structures...
