With mathematical accumulation, all the individual concentration profiles of every dendrite can be accumulated to form a concentration equation, which may be required by sine model or not. Then diffusion homogenization processes for any cross sections of dendrites in solid state can be calculated from the equation. The only assumption of the new models was that any individual concentration profile in a dendrite system could be simulated by Gauss equation of Fick-2 law.展开更多

Coupling the heat and solutediffusion with the transition rales, the dendrite evolution is simulated by cellular automatonmethod. Then, the solidification microstructure evolution of a small ingot is simulated by usingthis method. The simulated results indicate that this model can simulate the dendrite growth, showthe second dendrite arm and tertiary dendrite arm, and reveal the micro-segregation in theinter-dendritic zones. Furthermore, the columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) is predicted.展开更多

The results show that serious dendritic segregation exists in studied alloy ingot. There are many eutectic phases with low melting-point at grain boundary and the distribution of main elements along interdendritic region varies periodically. Elements Zn, Mg and Cu distribute unevenly from grain boundary to the inside of alloy. With increasing the homogenization temperature or prolonging the holding time, the residual phases are dissolved into matrix α（Al） gradually during homogenization treatment, all elements become more homogenized. The overburnt temperature of studied alloy is 476.7 °C. When homogenization temperature increases to 480 °C, some spherical phases and redissolved triangular constituents at grain boundaries can be easily observed. Combined with microstructural evolution and differential scanning calorimeter, the optimum homogenization parameter is at 470 °C for 24 h.展开更多
