Description

In the last decades, enormous progress has been made in understanding the physics of dendritic, cellular, eutectic and peritectic as well as columnar and equiaxed solidification of alloys. However, under productive conditions, melt convection and motion of crystals smear up local growth conditions such that for many cases predictions of the final microstructure might be unreliable. In this contribution, typical scenarios of convection-induced alterations of solidification conditions will be outlined and classified. Recent ideas from the community how to account for the impact of changing conditions on the local solidification process will presented and discussed. The contribution intends to reveal research topics that need more attention rather than presenting a bunch of solution.
