Abstract
A finite element method with a semi-implicit time update and an adaptive mesh refinement is used to numerically simulate characteristic growth morphologies in binary eutectic alloys for varying process conditions. The evolution equations are based on a recently developed phase-field model.1 Microstructure formations in typical temperature-composition regions of the eutectic phase diagram are computed showing single cellular primary phase growth, melting of eutectics, eutectic and off-eutectic solidification. We consider 2D and 3D lamellar two-phase growths, analyze the angle conditions at the eutectic triple junctions for different surface entropy data and discuss the occurrence of wetting along the solid-solid interface.
