Influence of Rotation on Crystallization Process of Aluminum Melt with Reinforcing Admixtures

Abstract

A specific distribution of supercritical nuclei, taking into account the presence of the macroscopic motion, i.e., rotation, has been found in this work. A calculation method of size distribution of heavily postcritical nucleation centers is proposed. The distribution of supercritical nucleation centers in the presence of flow effect, which was obtained here theoretically, is confirmed by an experimental investigation of the centrifugal casting of Al.
