Simulation and experimental characterization of microporosity during solidification in Sn-Bi alloys

The formation of microporosity during solidification of Sn-Bi alloys is investigated through experiments and simulations. Samples of varying composition with 20, 30, 47 and 58 wt% Bi are solidified in a copper mould and the pore fraction is measured through scanning electron microscopy. Finite eleme...
