Introduction Casting practice Design considering in casting Design for expendable-mold casting

Solidification of Peritectics • General considerations of pertitectics • Nucleation of peritectics • Solidification of peritectics Microstructure control through solidification method Solidification Defects The other defects

• Jackson-Hunt model for Regular eutectics • Morphology control method for regular eutectics • Model for irregular eutectics • Competitive growth of eutectic and dendritic phases • Coupled zone in binary alloy phase diagram

Solidification of Eutectics • Coupled eutectic growth morphology • Other eutectic morphologies

• Dendrite arm spacing • Formation of equiaxed grains • Cast microstructure

• Solidification microstructure: Cells and dendrites • Constrained growth • Preferred growth direction

• Application: Zone melting Morphology Instability of a S/L interface • Constitutional undercooling • Morphological instability of a S/L interface
