Self-assembled solidifying eutectic materials directed by a template with miniature features demonstrate unique microstructures and patterns as a result of diffusion and thermal gradients caused by ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

Using a combination of theory and experiment, a multi-institutional team are creating simulations to speed up advanced material design. Since the dawn of Enlightenment-era chemistry and physics, ...

We are delighted to announce the official release of Issue 3, 2025 of Materials and Solidification, an international academic journal published by Tsinghua University Press and academically supported ...

casting is a very complicated process. The most important part is the rate at which a casting cools down. Many properties of the casting are affected by this rate, which eventually determines the ...

New research into the crystallization process of additively manufactured Finemet alloys offers a promising roadmap toward ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is the process by which a solid object is built layer by layer from a digital model. This process provides advantages over traditional manufacturing ...

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 ...

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 ...
