Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition in Solidification Processing of AlSi7 Alloys in Microgravity the CETSOL Project

This paper gives an overview of the experiments on-board the International Space Station (ISS) performed so far by the CETSOL team. Al-7 wt% Si alloys with and without grain refiners were solidified in microgravity. Detailed grain structure analysis showed columnar growth in case of non-refined allo... View More
