Simulation of composite microregions solidification process

In this paper, author has compared solidification of different composite microregions containing only one reinforcing particle of regular solid shape and volume of 10% the matrix content. Compared were the temperature gradient and the solidification rate of the AlSi–SiCp composite at changeable contact surface of the components and changeable surface to reinforcing particle volume ratio (Mm). The temperature of particle and the matrix was set as non-equal (Tr < Tm).
