Abstract
Columnar grain growth with shear flow in molten pool of Ni-Cr alloy was simulated with a coupled model of grain growth and solute transport. The results indicate that shear flow alters solute distribution at the vicinity of columnar grains. The solute concentration gradient on the upstream side is greater, while that on the downstream side is smaller, leading to asymmetrical growth of columnar grains. In the interior of a columnar grain, solute concentration increases from the bottom to the dendrite tip, but the rate of increase tends to be reduced. The simulated results are consistent with the experiments.
