Principles of Solidification offers comprehensive descriptions of liquidtosolid transitions encountered in shaped casting, welding, and nonbiological 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 liquidstate, liquidsolid transformations, chemical macro and microsegregation, purification by fractional crystallization and zone refining, solidliquid interfaces, polyphase freezing, and rapid solidification processing. Solidliquid 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.
