Progress of Nonequilibrium Solidification Theory
روند پیشرفت نظریه انجماد غیر تعادلی
ABSTRACT
This paper summarized the theory related to nucleation, interface kinetics, micromorphology evolution and microscopic growth during nonequilibrium alloy solidification. Methods for quantitative analysis of nucleation rate, the criterion of marginal stability, nonequilibrium partition coefficient, as well as the relationship between growth rate with undercooling and dendrite tip radius are presented. Some limitations and future developments of nonequilibrium theory are pointed out.
