Local Nonequilibrium Solute Trapping Model For Non-Planar Interface, Sergey Sobolev

Sergey Sobolev

A generalized solute trapping model was proposed incorporating the dependency on interfacial normal velocity along the dendrite side, as an extension of the continuous growth model modified by Sobolev with the local nonequilibrium diffusion model (LNDM). The present model predicts that the transition to diffusionless solidification is not sharp, but occurs in a range of velocities. Analysis indicates that for local nonequilibrium solute diffusion in bulk liquid the effect of the interfacial normal velocity dependency on solute partitioning is considerable.
