SolidificationPatent
An SJTU application: ceramic-fibre plates at critical levels of the mould block vertical radiation and reduce front tilt. Lower freckle and stray-grain tendency is claimed.
SuperalloysPaper
VIAM ran a three-factor designed experiment on a UVNK liquid-metal-cooling furnace and obtained regression models for yield, orientation and PDAS.
SolidificationPaper
In an industrial Bridgman furnace the side of the rod next to the chill ring, where the axial gradient is highest, had a coarser PDAS than the centre. The tilt of the liquidus isotherm matters, not just G and v.
