About

About the course

Course content

The course is given every second year, next time will be autumn 2010.
The course includes mathematical descriptions of heat flow during casting in simple geometris, nucleation and phase boundary kinetics, growth of crystals with planar front, cells and dendrites. Multiphase reactions including eutectic and peritectic solidification. Flow of melt during solidification will be treated as well as micro- and macro segregation including inverse segregation. Precipitation of secondary phases including slags and gasses will be described.

Learning methods and activities
