Comparative study of gravity effects in directional solidification of Al-3.5 wt.% Si and Al-10 wt.% Cu alloys

Abstract Directional solidification experiments of Al-3.5 wt.% Si and Al-10 wt.% Cu alloys were conducted under gravity and microgravity conditions using a 50-m-high drop tube. The solidification morphology of the two alloys is mainly columnar dendrites and equiaxed dendrites, respectively. The dend...
