Effect of Transient Thermal Conditions on Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition during Laser Welding: A Phase-Field Study

The columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) is commonly observed in laser welds. It is able to prevent the growth of large columnar grains and consequently improve the mechanical properties of welded joints. In this paper, the CET behaviors at different locations in the laser weld of an Al–Mg alloy ar...
