Cooling materials super-quickly, called rapid solidification, prevents the normal crystalline structures of materials from forming, often creating unique properties in the process. If single crystal ...

The new research has developed a computational model to reveal how solute trapping occurs during the rapid solidification process in additive manufacturing (AM). Effect of solute trapping on the rapid ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Centre of Excellence for Advanced Materials, and University of Leicester, have developed a ...

Different methods are employed to vary cooling rates for magnesium alloys during the solidification process from liquid to solid phase and after the solution/aging heat treatment. These include using ...
