CETSOL
Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition in SOLidification Processing – CETSOL #6
Ziel
The general objective of the project is to improve our understanding of the physical phenomena that
govern the formation of the columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) in alloy solidification and its
consequences for casting soundness. For that purpose, both experimental investigations of the formation
of dendritic solidification and numerical models are being developed. Several companies endorse the
project since the first proposal was written in 1999.
Kurzbeschreibung
Within this CETSOL-6 project the tasks given in the former phases of CETSOL MAP shall be continued
and significantly extended. Therefore microgravity experiments will be performed and analysed in detail.
Another central task of this project phase will be the modelling of the columnar-to-equiaxed transition –
especially in 3D – using different types of numerical models. Here, the microgravity experiments provide a
unique data basis on diffusive solidification conditions to verify and improve modelling.
