An improved finite difference analysis has been used to calculate self-consistent axisymmetric cellular shapes. The results obtained are compared with the analytical models which have been proposed to describe array growth. It is concluded that the analytical models should be used with extreme caution in the cellular region. A preliminary examination of the stability of the steady state shapes has been made numerically. The results are compared with experiment where it is found that neither the minimum undercooling condition nor marginal stability analysis as applied, correctly predicts the growth conditions. The model includes solute diffusion in the solid so that the extent of microsegregation is fully described for the first time. 相似文献

Succinonitrile-1.9 wt pct acetone has been directionally solidified in 0.7 X 0.7-cm-square cross section pyrex ampoules in
order to observe the cell/dendrite tip morphologies, not influenced by the “wall effects,” which are present during growth
in the generally used thin (about 200 μm) crucibles. The tips do not maintain a steady-state shape, as is generally assumed.
Instead, they fluctuate within a shape envelope. The extent of fluctuation increases with decreasing growth speed, as the
micro structure changes from the dendritic to cellular. The influence of natural convection has been examined by comparing
these morphologies with those grown, without convection, in the thin ampoules. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with the effect of natural convective patterns evidenced in a previous paper [Acta metall.37, 1143 (1989)], on the dendritic primary spacings. Primary spacings in normal gravity environment have been found to be much smaller than those measured in a microgravity environment, the latter being in good agreement with the diffusion controlled theoretical predictions. The scaling analysis of convective effects developed in the first paper allows us to propose a relationship, which gives the primary spacing as a function of the experimental parameters, in convective transport conditions of the solute in the liquid. This correlation is in good agreement with our experimental results, and those of the literature. 相似文献

In this article, a review of our recent experimental and numerical study of pattern formation in faceted cellular array growth
was presented.In situ observations in transparent faceting organic compounds have revealed the dynamical features of faceted cellular growth. Cell
tip splitting and loss of cells in the array have been found to be the main mechanisms for cell spacing adjustment. The time
evolution of a faceted cellular array has been followed numerically. It was found that pattern formation was history-dependent
and was determined by interactions in the array. These interactions were either transient or persistent, depending on the
growth condition. As a result, afinite range of stable cell spacings was found under a given growth condition; that is, there was no sharp selection. The cellular
structures were irregular when persistent interactions occurred, whereas relatively regular structures could be formed once
the transient interactions had stopped. The implication of these observations for pattern formation in other array growth
processes, such as nonfaceted cellular, dendritic, or eutectic growth, will be discussed.
This paper is based on a presentation made in the symposium “Growth and Configurations of Faceted Solid-Liquid Interfaces”
presented during the TMS annual meeting, New Orleans, Louisiana, February 17–21, 1991, under the auspices of the TMS Solidification
Committee.

An analytical model that describes solidification of equiaxed dendrites has been developed for use in solidification kinetics-macrotransport
modeling. It relaxes some of the assumptions made in previous models, such as the Dustin-Kurz, Rappaz-Thevoz, and Kanetkar-Stefanescu
models. It is assumed that nuclei grow as unperturbed spheres until the radius of the sphere becomes larger than the minimum
radius of instability. Then, growth of the dendrites is related to morphological instability and is calculated as a function
of melt undercooling around the dendrite tips, which is controlled by the bulk temperature and the intrinsic volume average
concentration of the liquid phase. When the general morphology of equiaxed dendrites is considered, the evolution of the fraction
of solid is related to the interdendritic branching and dynamic coarsening (through the evolution of the specific interfacial
areas) and to the topology and movement of the dendrite envelope (through the tip growth velocity and dendrite shape factor).
The particular case of this model is the model for globulitic dendrite. The intrinsic volume average liquid concentration
and bulk temperature are obtained from an overall solute and thermal balance around a growing equiaxed dendritic grain within
a spherical closed system. Overall solute balance in the integral form is obtained by a complete analytical solution of the
diffusion field in both liquid and solid phases. The bulk temperature is obtained from the solution of the macrotrasport-solidification
kinetics problem. 相似文献

Macrosegregation during dendritic arrayed growth of hypoeutectic pb- sn alloys: Influence of primary arm spacing and mushy zone length 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Thermosolutal convection in the dendritic mushy zone occurs during directional solidification of hypoeutectic lead tin alloys
in a positive thermal gradient, with the melt on the top and the solid below. This results in macrosegregation along the length
of the solidified samples. The extent of macrosegregation increases with increasing primary dendrite spacings for constant
mushy zone length. For constant primary spacings, the macrosegregation increases with decreasing mushy zone length. Presence
of convection reduces the primary dendrite spacings. However, convection in the interdendritic melt has significantly more
influence on the spacings as compared with that in the overlying melt, which is caused by the solutal buildup at the dendrite
tips.

The results of experiments on the tin-15 wt pct lead system are presented, showing the effects on microstructure of solidification
in presence of acceleration forces from 10-4 to 5g* for three cooling rates. An increase in the acceleration level is shown to drive fluid flow and cause dendrite remelting,
fragmentation, and macrosegregation. The cooling rate impacts the final structure through its control of dendrite arm spacings
and permeability to fluid flow. At the low (10-4
g) acceleration, dendrite arm spacings deviated from the predicted relationship to cooling rate. An explanation for this anomaly
is given which considers the temperature and concentration gradients in the low-gravity environment. 相似文献

Equiaxed dendritic solidification in the presence of melt convection and solid-phase transport is investigated in a series
of three articles. In part I, a multiphase model is developed to predict com-position and structure evolution in an alloy
solidifying with an equiaxed morphology. The model accounts for the transport phenomena occurring on the macroscopic (system)
scale, as well as the grain nucleation and growth mechanisms taking place over various microscopic length scales. The present
model generalizes a previous multiscale/multiphase model by including liquid melt convec-tion and solid-phase transport. The
macroscopic transport equations for the solid and the interdendritic and extradendritic liquid phases are derived using the
volume averaging technique and closed by supplementary relations to describe the interfacial transfer terms. In part II, a
numerical application of the model to equiaxed dendritic solidification of an Al-Cu alloy in a rectangular cavity is dem-onstrated.
Limited experimental validation of the model using a NH4C1-H2O transparent model alloy is provided in part III. 相似文献

In Part I of the article, a new analytical model that describes solidification of equiaxed dendrites was presented. In this
part of the article, the model is used to simulate the solidification of INCONEL 718 superalloy castings. The model was incorporated
into a commercial finite-element code, PROCAST. A special procedure called microlatent heat method (MLHM) was used for coupling
between macroscopic heat flow and microscopic growth kinetics. A criterion for time-stepping selection in microscopic modeling
has been derived in conjunction with MLHM. Reductions in computational (CPU) time up to 90 pct over the classic latent heat
method were found by adopting this coupling. Validation of the model was performed against experimental data for an INCONEL
718 superalloy casting. In the present calculations, the model for globulitic dendrite was used. The evolution of fraction
of solid calculated with the present model was compared with Scheil’s model and experiments. An important feature in solidification
of INCONEL 718 is the detrimental Laves phase. Laves phase content is directly related to the intensity of microsegregation
of niobium, which is very sensitive to the evolution of the fraction of solid. It was found that there is a critical cooling
rate at which the amount of Laves phase is maximum. The critical cooling rate is not a function of material parameters (diffusivity,
partition coefficient,etc.). It depends only on the grain size and solidification time. The predictions generated with the present model are shown to
agree very well with experiments. 相似文献

The function and specificity of gamma delta T cells remain enigmatic. Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) expressing an invariant gamma delta TCR represent a well established model system to investigate these key issues. Accumulating evidence supports the initial observation that recognition of a keratinocyte self-antigen by DETC proceeds without a requirement for MHC gene products. In addition, recent data have identified bioactive polypeptides expressed by DETC but not by most other T cells. For example, keratinocyte growth factor appears to be exclusively produced by activated DETC and intestinal intraepithelial gamma delta cells. These findings suggest that DETC may recognize antigen in novel ways as well as perform specialized functions complementary to those normally attributed to T cells. 相似文献

This article, as the second part of the present work, applied the unified Φ-parameter-based micro/macrosegregation modeling,
which was proposed and described in the first part, to two groups of alloy solidification systems. The first group is on closed
simultaneous solidification systems of an Al-4.5 pct Cu alloy and a Fe-0.5 pct C based plain carbon steel to investigate the
microscale solute-redistribution behaviors with different influential factors including the solid phase morphologies. A new
solute-redistribution equation was derived from the present microscale unified Φ-parameter-based modeling, which includes
more microscale dendrite-solidification features while preserving the simple function form equivalent to the well-known lever
rule and the Scheil, Flemings-Brody, Clyne-Kurz, and Ohnaka models. In the second example computation group on a directionally
solidified, bladelike casting system, a previous continuum model and the related PC-based codes developed by the present authors
were extended and modified by incorporating the present microscale Φ-parameter approach to any extent of solid back-diffusion
effects. Numerical simulations on the directional-solidification transport phenomena and micro/macrosegregation formations
in a bladelike Al-4.5 pct Cu casting show the feasibility and the efficiency of the present solidification-transport process
(STP)-based two-scale segregation model and the numerical methods. 相似文献

A theoretical model is developed to predict the characteristics of cellular or dendritic interface during the controlled solidification
of binary alloys. Both heat and mass transport fields near a growing cellular and dendritic front have been considered. A
perturbative stability criterion has been developed to determine the dimension and the solute concentration of a tip. It is
shown that the fields are composed of two contributions; one characterizes the average field and the other characterizes the
cellular and dendritic fields ahead of the growing front. The perturbation in the shape is classified into two categories;
one is responsible to the cellular growth and the other to the dendritic growth. Good correlations are obtained between theory
and experiments. 相似文献

An Al-4.1 mass pct Cu alloy was unidirectionally solidified under various growth rates. Features, such as tip radius of curvature,
primary arm spacing, and tip concentration were measured as functions of growth rate. Dependence of tip radius on growth rate
was different between cells and dendrites. Measured tip radius and primary arm spacing were maximum at the cellular-dendritic
transition. Tip concentration, however, monotonously decreases with growth rate. Linear relationships between tip radius and
characteristic dimensions of dendrites like core diameter, half length of tip arc, and the first secondary arm spacing are
obtained to determine what affects growth rate, convection, and gravity segregation. Experimental results are compared with
current theoretical models for dendrite growth under controlled solidification. It was determined that the measured tip radius
is larger than that of theoretical predictions at fast growth rate, but the measured tip concentration is in good agreement
with theoretical predictions. 相似文献

Since dendritic cells (DCs) are the most professional antigen-presenting cells, (Schuler et al., 1997), increasing interest in their use in clinical approaches has been observed. (Nestle et al., 1998; Murphy G. et al., 1996). We have developed an ex vivo standardized process for the generation of dendritic-like cells (MAC-DCs) from human blood circulating monocytes. Human monocytes can differentiate into very different functional cells according to the conditions of culture, media and cytokines used. In the present study, we demonstrate that both pure monocytes and mononuclear cells differentiate into DCs when they are grown in defined medium AIM-V in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus IL13 and in approved biocompatible non-adherent bags. Quality and functional controls of the immature DCs obtained rely on bacterial sterility, viability, morphology and recovery. The MAC-DCs also present an immature DC phenotype with a low expression of CD14 and CD64, and high expression of MHC-I, MHC-II and CD40. They also express B7 costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86), CD83, and CD1a molecules. They induce strong allogenic T-cell proliferation (mixed lymphocyte reaction as well as proliferation of autologous memory T lymphocytes when incubated in the presence of recall antigens (tuberculosis, Candida albicans, and tetanus toxoid). They also show an increase in phagocytic uptake of yeast, tumour cells and debris. The global closed system which, under reproducible good medical practice (GMP) conditions, enables the production of dendritic cells of clinical quality, has been optimized ("Vac Cell Processor"). It contains all bags, connections, media, reagents, washing solutions, control antibodies, standard operating procedures, data management, traceability and help in the form of dedicated software. 相似文献
