 | Lamellar Eutectic Growth with Parabolic Temperature ProfileThe formation of lamellae during the solidification withina parabolic temperature profile was simulated. The possibilities of thephase field simulation go beyond analytical models, since transient processesas well as non-planar isothermals can be considered. The animation showshow the lamella spacing is adjusted to the current growth rate throughformation of new lamellae. When contact takes place, it is always betweena-phase and b-phasebecause of the concentration gradients in the melt. |
