This study introduces a new phase-field model (PFM) for binary alloy solidification, simplifying existing models and accurately simulating alloy behavior across various conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computational Physics
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Solidification of binary alloys is a fundamental process in materials science and engineering.
  • Existing phase-field models (PFMs) for alloy solidification have certain limitations and complexities.
  • Accurate modeling of alloy solidification is crucial for predicting material properties and optimizing manufacturing processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel phase-field model (PFM) for binary alloy solidification.
  • To simplify the existing Wheeler-Boettinger-McFadden (WBM) model by modifying the free energy density definition.
  • To validate the new PFM against established models and analytical solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of the PFM from a pure material model by comparing solidification variables.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Modification of the free energy density definition to eliminate an extra potential present in the WBM model.
  • Reduction of the model to the Tiaden et al. model in the dilute solution limit.
  • Derivation of the relationship between phase-field mobility and interface kinetics coefficient under thin-interface conditions.
  • Numerical simulations of one-dimensional steady-state solidification for validation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed PFM is equivalent to the WBM model but with a simplified free energy definition.
    • The model reduces to the Tiaden et al. model for dilute alloys.
    • A relationship between phase-field mobility and interface kinetics coefficient was derived.
    • Numerical simulations show excellent agreement with exact solutions at low interface velocities.
    • The model accurately captures solidification behavior, especially when the partition coefficient approaches unity at high velocities.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed phase-field model offers a simplified and accurate approach to simulating binary alloy solidification.
    • The model's ability to reduce to known models in specific limits enhances its credibility.
    • Numerical simulations confirm the model's validity and its agreement with analytical solutions, particularly under challenging conditions (high velocities, partition coefficient near unity).
