Solidification phase growing during simulation
Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2021 3:55 pm
Hello everyone!
I want to set up a simulation of the solidification of a steel, which contains high melting oxide particles. As the oxides solidify as the first phase during cooling and solidification, they function as seeds for the further solidification and forming of the initial microstructure.
I am not sure, if MICRESS generally offers the possibility to simulate particles (e.g. Al2O3), which form during cooling and function as solidification seeds and also grow during the cooling.
That is why i am posting this question here? Has somebody maybe experiences with similar questions?
If there is no direct method to do it (let seeds grow withe the microstructure), is there maybe a way to implement a model through several steps? I thought about adding the oxide particles as an initial microstructure manually at differend positions. Is this the only way?
I am looking forward to your replies
Best,
Moritz
