A Bridgman Furnace Front Tracking Model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research, mainly because it provides a means to directionally solidify materials in a controlled manner, so that the resulting microstructure, and hence material properties, ... -
An Argument for the Use of Multiple Segment Stents in Curved Arteries
(2011)Stenting of curved arteries is generally perceived to be more challenging than straight vessels. Conceptually implanting multiple shorter stents rather than a single longer stent into such a curved artery represents a ... -
Columnar and equiaxed solidification in a microgravity environment ? The CETSOL project
(2017)The formation of the microstructure and the grain structure during solidification is affected by buoyancy-driven flow and movement of crystals growing in the melt. To allow for pure diffusive solidification conditions, ... -
Columnar to Equiaxed Transition in Peritectic TiAl Based Alloy Studied by a Power-Down Technique
(Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2014) -
Conditions for CET in a gamma TiAl alloy
(2015)The solidification of gamma TiAl alloys is of interest to the aerospace and automotive industries. A gamma TiAl multicomponent alloy: Ti–45.5Al–4.7Nb–0.2C–0.2B (at. %) has been the focus of a study to investigate the ... -
An experimental-numerical method for estimating heat transfer in a Bridgman furnace
(2014)Direct measurement of heat flux and heat transfer coefficients in a Bridgman furnace is not always possible using traditional methods. This study characterised a vertical tubular Bridgman furnace using experimental data ... -
A Front Tracking Model for Transient Solidification of Al-7wt%Si in a Bridgman Furnace
(2012)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research. This paper outlines a working onedimensional model for tracking the columnar solidification front in a Bridgman furnace where the pulling velocity, and hence ...
