Abstract

A two-dimensional cellular automaton model has been developed to examine the evolution and coarsening behaviour of solid-solution dendrites during steady-state columnar freezing. Using an empirical rule to account for interface growth, realistic dendrite geometries were obtained for different assumed compositions and process conditions. Coarsening occurred by a coalescence mechanism associated with bridging of adjacent dendrite arms.
