The evolution of the interface morphology was shown and the effects of phase field parameters were formulated for succinonitrile-acetone alloy. The results indicate that an anti-trapping current(ATC) can suppress many trapped molten packets, which is caused by the thickened interface. With increasing the anisotropy value from 0 to 0.05, a small circular seed grows to develope secondary dendritic, dendritic tip velocity increases monotonically, and the solute accumulation of solid/liquid interface is diminished distinctly. Furthermore, with the increase of the coupling parameter value, the interface becomes unstable and the side branches of crystals appear and grow gradually.展开更多

A three-dimensional cellular automaton model couplling both dendritic scale and grain scale is developed to simulate the microstructure evolution of the nickel-based single crystal superalloy DD406. Besides, a macro–mesoscopic/microscopic coupling solution algorithm is proposed to improve computational efficiency. The simulation results of dendrite growth and grain growth of the alloy are obtained and compared with the results given in previous reports. The results show that the primary dendritic arm spacing and secondary dendritic arm spacing of the dendritic growth are consistent with the theoretical and experimental results. The mesoscopic grain simulation can be used to obtain results similar to those of microscopic dendrites simulation. It is indicated that the developed model is feasible and effective.展开更多
