Book Phase field Investigation on the Non equilibrium Interface Dynamics of Rapid Alloy Solidification

Download or read book Phase field Investigation on the Non equilibrium Interface Dynamics of Rapid Alloy Solidification written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research program reported here is focused on critical issues that represent conspicuous gaps in current understanding of rapid solidification, limiting our ability to predict and control microstructural evolution (id est morphological dynamics and microsegregation) at high undercooling, where conditions depart significantly from local equilibrium. More specifically, through careful application of phase-field modeling, using appropriate thin-interface and anti-trapping corrections and addressing important details such as transient effects and a velocity-dependent (id est adaptive) numerics, the current analysis provides a reasonable simulation-based picture of non-equilibrium solute partitioning and the corresponding oscillatory dynamics associated with single-phase rapid solidification and show that this method is a suitable means for a self-consistent simulation of transient behavior and operating point selection under rapid growth conditions. Moving beyond the limitations of conventional theoretical/analytical treatments of non-equilibrium solute partitioning, these results serve to substantiate recent experimental findings and analytical treatments for single-phase rapid solidification. The departure from the equilibrium solid concentration at the solid-liquid interface was often observed during rapid solidification, and the energetic associated non-equilibrium solute partitioning has been treated in detail, providing possible ranges of interface concentrations for a given growth condition. Use of these treatments for analytical description of specific single-phase dendritic and cellular operating point selection, however, requires a model for solute partitioning under a given set of growth conditions. Therefore, analytical solute trapping models which describe the chemical partitioning as a function of steady state interface velocities have been developed and widely utilized in most of the theoretical investigations of rapid solidification. However, these solute trapping models are not rigorously verified due to the difficulty in experimentally measuring under rapid growth conditions. Moreover, since these solute trapping models include kinetic parameters which are difficult to directly measure from experiments, application of the solute trapping models or the associated analytic rapid solidification model is limited. These theoretical models for steady state rapid solidification which incorporate the solute trapping models do not describe the interdependency of solute diffusion, interface kinetics, and alloy thermodynamics. The phase-field approach allows calculating, spontaneously, the non-equilibrium growth effects of alloys and the associated time-dependent growth dynamics, without making the assumptions that solute partitioning is an explicit function of velocity, as is the current convention. In the research described here, by utilizing the phase-field model in the thin-interface limit, incorporating the anti-trapping current term, more quantitatively valid interface kinetics and solute diffusion across the interface are calculated. In order to sufficiently resolve the physical length scales (id est interface thickness and diffusion boundary length), grid spacings are continually adjusted in calculations. The full trajectories of transient planar growth dynamics under rapid directional solidification conditions with different pulling velocities are described. As a validation of a model, the predicted steady state conditions are consistent with the analytic approach for rapid growth. It was confirmed that rapid interface dynamics exhibits the abrupt acceleration of the planar front when the effect of the non-equilibrium solute partitioning at the interface becomes signi ficant. This is consistent with the previous linear stability analysis for the non-equilibrium interface dynamics. With an appropriate growth condition, the continuous oscillation dynamics was able to be simulated using continually adjusting grid spac...

Book Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Download or read book Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification written by Nikolas Provatas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a study of phase field modelling of solidification in metal alloy systems. It is divided in two main themes. The first half discusses several classes of quantitative multi-order parameter phase field models for multi-component alloy solidification. These are derived in grand potential ensemble, thus tracking solidification in alloys through the evolution of the chemical potentials of solute species rather than the more commonly used solute concentrations. The use of matched asymptotic analysis for making phase field models quantitative is also discussed at length, and derived in detail in order to make this somewhat abstract topic accessible to students. The second half of the book studies the application of phase field modelling to rapid solidification where solute trapping and interface undercooling follow highly non-equilibrium conditions. In this limit, matched asymptotic analysis is used to map phase field evolution equations onto the continuous growth model, which is generally accepted as a sharp-interface description of solidification at rapid solidification rates. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and materials engineering. Key Features Presents a clear path to develop quantitative multi-phase and multi-component phase field models for solidification and other phase transformation kinetics Derives and discusses the quantitative nature of the model formulations through matched interface asymptotic analysis Explores a framework for quantitative treatment of rapid solidification to control solute trapping and solute drag dynamics

Book A Grand Potential Based Multi phase Field Model for Alloy Solidification

Download or read book A Grand Potential Based Multi phase Field Model for Alloy Solidification written by Kaushik Shampur and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ability to model phase transitions in complex (i.e. multi-component and multi- phase) alloys, accurately, efficiently, and in an accessible manner, is important in material science. This thesis derives a new model that extends the quantitative model of polycrystalline solidification of Ofori-Opoku et al [3] to the case of multiple components and alloy phases through a grand potential functional description. Here, solidification is described by a set of order parameters describing solid phases and a set chemical potentials describing solute components. Solidification of a solid phase is driven by the grand potential difference between it and the liquid, expanded here to quadratic order in the chemical potential difference (relative to equilibrium) of each solute, i.e., its supersaturation. This allows us to model both near and far- from equilibrium solidification conditions, and to easily make contact with previous quantitative single-crystal phase field theories in the literature. Thermal fluctuations in the theory are treated via stochastic noise, a feature important for modelling multi-phase nucleation self-consistently. Working in the grand canonical ensemble treats the evolution of order parameter and chemical potential as a coupled process, unique compared to the traditional methods. As a result, complete decoupling of all diffusion fields and order parameter fields is achieved at equilibrium, making it possible to easily set solid-liquid or solid- solid interface energy independently of solute distribution across an an interface, an important feature for quantitative meso-scale calculations. Chemical diffusion equations in the model are augmented by a non-variational, so-called anti-trapping flux in each solute species. These fictitious fluxes are used in the literature in some phase field theories to correct for spurious solute trapping effects caused by the use of a diffuse interface, which is done solely for numerical expediency.We demonstrate its workings of our model in the limit of a two-component eutectic alloy system simulated with 2D dynamic adaptive mesh refinement. Benchmark eutectic lamellar simulations and measurements are first performed. Following that, two-phase homogenous nucleation and growth are examined. In the limit of near- equilibrium interfaces (zero interface kinetics), we illustrate two-phase grain growth scaling that is independent of nucleation barrier." --
