Glicksman, Martin Eden.
Principles of Solidification An Introduction to Modern Casting and Crystal Growth Concepts / [electronic resource] : by Martin Eden Glicksman. - XX, 530p. 220 illus. online resource.
Part I Introductory Aspects -- Crystals & Melts -- Thermodynamics of Crystal-Melt Phase Change -- Thermal Concepts in Solidification -- Solidification of Pure Materials -- Part II Macrosegregation -- Solute Mass Balances: Macrosegregation -- Plane-Front Solidication -- Composition Control -- Part III Solid-Liquid Interfaces: Capillarity, Stability, Nucleation -- Crystal-Molt Interfaces -- Constitutional Supercooling -- Linear Morphological Stability -- Non-Linear Stability Models -- Nucleation Catalysis -- Part IV Microstructure Evolution -- Dendritic Growth -- Microsegregation -- Interface Structures and Kinetics -- Polyphase Solidification -- Rapid Solidification Processing.
“Principles of Solidification” offers comprehensive descriptions of liquid-to-solid transitions encountered in shaped casting, welding, and non-biological bulk crystal growth processes. The book logically develops through careful presentation of relevant thermodynamic and kinetic theories and models of solidification occurring in a variety of materials. Major topics encompass the liquid-state, liquid-solid transformations, chemical macro- and microsegregation, purification by fractional crystallization and zone refining, solid-liquid interfaces, polyphase freezing, and rapid solidification processing. Solid-liquid interfaces are discussed quantitatively both as sharp and diffuse entities, with supporting differential geometric descriptions. The book offers: • Detailed mathematical examples throughout to guide readers • Applications of solidification and crystal growth methodologies for preparation and purification of metals, ceramics, polymers and semiconductors • Appendices providing supporting information on special topics covered in the chapters. Readers in materials, metallurgical, chemical, and mechanical engineering will find this to be a useful source on the subjects of solidification and crystal growth. Chemists, physicists, and geologists concerned with melting/freezing phenomena will also find much of value in this book.
