A quantitative study of solute diffusion field effects on heterogeneous nucleation and the grain size of alloys

The nucleation ability of inoculating particles inside the solute diffusion zone around growing grains during alloy solidification is studied using a spherical, equiaxed dendritic grain model coupled with a new modified free growth model to predict the final grain size of cast aluminium alloys with...
