Undercooling-mediated growth transitions in rapidly solidified Cu-Ni alloys : towards the elucidation of the fundamental mechanism behind 'spontaneous grain refinement' in undercooled metallic melts

Within the context of the rapid solidification of metals, an experimental investigation has been undertaken in order to elucidate the fundamental mechanism behind the ‘spontaneous grain refinement’ phenomenon; in which abrupt transitions between coarse columnar and fine equiaxed grain structures are...
