A cellular automaton (CA) model to predict the formation of grain macrostructure during solidification has been implemented and the coupling between the microscopic and the macroscopic submodels has been investigated. The ...

An estimation of the evolution of solid fractions in cylindrical samples with predominantly lower heat extraction have been performed, considering approximately constant finite volume constituting the alloy samples of Zn ...

In the last decade, several studies have been developed on lead-free alloys as potential candidates to replace Sn-Pb alloys in soldering processes. Sn-Mg alloys arise as promising alternatives due to characteristics such ...

A deterministic multigrain and multiphase model of equiaxed solidification of binary alloys is proposed, implemented, and analyzed. An important feature of the present model is the creation of classes of dendritic and ...

Ductile cast irons are ferrous alloys in which precipitation of graphite in the form of spherical nodules is embedded in a metal matrix to obtain ductility on the material. Despite the importance of the shape of the nodules, ...
