A Two-Dimensional Phase-Field Investigation on Unidirectionally Solidified Tip-Splitting Microstructures

The onset of morphological instabilities along a solidifying interface has a tendency to influence the microstructural characteristics of cast alloys. In the present study, the initiation as well as the mechanism of microstructural pattern formation is investigated by a quantitative phase-field appr...
