Grain selection in spiral selectors during investment casting of single-crystal components: Part II. Numerical modeling

In this article, grain selection in spiral selectors during investment casting of single-crystal (SX) components is simulated using a cellular automaton grain structure model (CAFE) within a finite element thermal model (PROCAST). The models were validated against experimental observations and then...
