On the length-scale and location of channel nucleation in directional solidification
This work provides evidence that channels in directionally solidified hypoeutectic Pb-Sn alloys nucleate at the dendrite tips. Using a finite-element simulator, distinctive 'convective signatures' are shown to exist for convectively unstable cases, where the instability of a system is shown to be …
