• Temperature remains
constant while grains
grow.
Nucleation;
Homogeneous nucleation: very pure metal, substantial
undercooling (0.2Tm)
Heterogeneous nucleation: nucleation agents (5ºC
undercooling)
Grain growth
Planar: pure metal
Dendritic: solid solution
Grain size
depends on number of nuclei and cooling rate.

Summary
Solidification process affects crystal structures
which in turn affect material properties.
Single crystal materials behave very differently
than metal alloys.
The effect of imperfections and grain size in
solid solutions.
Heat treatment can modify material properties
by changing the crystal structure.
