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

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 ...

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, ...

Recently, the 2025 Volume 1, Issue 2 of Materials and Solidification, an English academic journal dedicated to the field of materials and solidification, has been officially published. Co-sponsored by ...

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 ...

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 ...
