Effect of mixing rate on the morphology of primary Al phase in the controlled diffusion solidification (CDS) process
Controlled diffusion solidification is a novel and promising process wherein near-net-shaped cast product of a desired Al wrought alloy is obtained by mixing two precursor alloys at specific individual composition, mass, and temperature each to obtain a non-dendritic morphology of the primary Al phase in the solidified microstructure. This study is devoted to quantify the effect of the rate of mixing of the two precursor alloys on the morphology of the primary Al phase in the cast component. The results show that the lower mixing rate with a higher mixing velocity is more favorable for the CDS process.
