Both the enrichment efficiency and the separation were found to be strongly dependent on the melt viscosity. A high melt viscosity was beneficial to the enrichment of primary silicon, whereas a low melt viscosity facilitated the separation process. A new enrichment mechanism was proposed in order to clarify the influence of melt viscosity, and an improved process for achieving high-efficiency enrichment of Si crystals via control of the melt viscosity was also proposed. Additionally, the morphology of Si crystals was found to change from spheroidal to plate-like in shape owing to the difference in viscosities in different regions.展开更多

The effect of the viscosity coefficient and the process parameters on the material behaviors and the stress distributions around the pin were studied. Results indicate that the stress in front of the pin is larger than that behind the pin. The difference between the radial/circumferential stress in front of the pin and that behind it becomes smaller when the material gets closer to the top surface. This difference increases with increasing the viscosity coefficient and becomes smaller when the welding speed decreases. The variation of the angular velocity does not significantly affect the difference.展开更多
