Abstract

Dendritic growth in undercooled melts has been an interesting topic for metallurgists, physicists and mathematicians. In recent years, attention has been focused on the effects of melt flow on dendritic growth. Significant thermoelectric currents form in undercooled growth due to the presence of relatively large thermal gradients. Numerical simulations showed that the application of a static magnetic field exerts a complex influence on melt flow due to Lorentz force, damping and thermoelectrically driven convection, affecting growth kinetics in undercooled metallic melts. To verify the simulated results, bulk melts of high purity nickel were undercooled using the glass fluxing technique under static magnetic fields of up to 6 T. A high-speed camera was used for in situ monitoring of the recalescence process of the undercooled samples. The dendritic growth velocities at different melt undercoolings were calculated by simulating the recorded images of the recalescence process. The measured data confirms the predicted effect of heat and mass transport through thermoelectric magnetohydrodynamics flow on dendritic growth.
