In this paper, the SHS process using TiO2, Al and graphite powders has been performed successfully. The TiO2 : Al : C molar ratio was 3 : 4.2 : 2.8. XRD result shows the final product powder is Al2O3-TiC composite powder. The morphology and microstructure of the composite powder was also investigated.
We study the effect of force convection and temperature on the double dendrite growth during the solidification of binary alloy using a phase-field model. The mass and momentum conservation equations are solved using the Simple algorithm, and the thermal governing equation is numerically solved using an alternating implicit finite difference method. The results indicate that dendritic grows unsymmetrically under a forced flow, the growth velocity of the upstream tip is faster than the downstream tip. The downstream tip of the first dendrite and the upstream tip of the second dendrite are influenced each other, the upstream tip of the second dendrite will Coarsen, and the concentration at the boundary between them is the highest. Moreover, the interaction between the two dendrites is more and more obvious with the increasing of the temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
