Abstract

Abstract Recent developments of more powerful synchrotron sources have led to vast improvements in the performance of X-ray imaging. This is manifested by a continuous increase in the impact of synchrotron experiments in many research areas on materials, in particular solidification science. X-ray imaging has been established as a method of choice for in situ and real-time studies of solidification microstructure formation in metallic alloys, with spatio-temporal resolutions at the scales of relevance. In this article, we present illustrative results of the current capabilities of synchrotron X-ray imaging in this field of research, each of them using different X-ray techniques (radiography, topography and tomography). Those results demonstrate the high potential of these techniques for the investigation of dynamical phenomena in materials processing.
