Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the problem of planar solid-liquid interface stability during rapid solidification of binary metal alloys under laser treatment. A new quantitative model is proposed. This model describes the self-organized development of stable spatially-periodic vortices in the melt near the solid-liquid interface due to concentration- (or thermal) capillary effects) together with effects due to the influence of normal concentration or temperature gradients directed from the interface towards the melt. These vortices give rise to a cellular structure at the solid-liquid interface of rapidly frozen melts.A computer code was developed to solve the set of second-order linear differential equations which describe heat and mass transfer at the liquid-solid interface. This model allows calculation of the liquid phase velocity field, the second component concentration field in the melt, as well as the temperature field in the liquid and solid phases near the solid-liquid interface at a given solidification rate. © 1998 Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

On propose un nouveau modèle quantitatif. Ce modele decrit le développement auto-organisé de tourbillons stables,périodiques dans l'espace, dans le bain fondu près de l'interface solide-liquide. Ces tourbillons sont dus aux effets1 capillaires de concentration (ou thermiques) ainsi qu'à l'influence de la concentration normale ou des gradients de températures diriges de l'interface vers le bain fondu. Ces tourbillons donnent naissance à une structure cellulaire a l'interface solide-liquide des bains fondus rapidément solidifiés.On a développé un code d'ordinateur pour resoudre l'ensemble d'equations differentielles lineaires de second ordre qui decrivent le transfert de chaleur et de masse à l'interface liquide-solide. Ce modèle permet le calcul du champ de vitesse de la phase liquide, du champ de concentration de la seconde composante dans le bain fondu, ainsi que du champ de temperature dans la phase liquide et la phase solide près de l'interface solide-liquide, à un taux donné de solidification. © 1998 Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
