Additive manufacturing of metallic parts by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) implies high temperature gradients and small volume of the melt bath. These conditions make the process scales close to those ...

Microscopic mechanisms of the crystallization from the melt provide for conversion of short-range order of a liquid state into the long-range order of a solid crystalline state and determine in much ...

Materials and Solidification, an international journal dedicated to advancing research in solidification theory, materials design, and processing technology, has officially launched its inaugural ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ordered layers to intricate maze-like patterns that underlie properties ...
