The aim of Modeling and Simulation of Microstructure Evolution in
Solidifying Alloys is to describe in a clear mathematical language the
physics of the solidification structure evolution of cast alloys. The
concepts and methodologies presented here for the net-shaped casting and
the ingot remelt processes can be applied, with some modifications, to
model other solidification processes such as welding and deposition
processes.
Another aim of the book is to provide simulation examples of the
solidification structure modeling in some crucial commercial casting
technologies as well as to provide practical techniques for controlling
the structure formation during the solidification processes.
