In situ X-ray microtomography characterization of the entrapped liquid formed during partial remelting of a cold-rolled Al–8 wt.% Cu alloy

The aim of this article is to present the results of a partial remelting experiment carried out on a cold-rolled Al–8 wt.% Cu alloy. The evolution of the semi-solid mixture has been investigated using in situ X-ray microtomography with a particular emphasis on nucleation and coarsening of the liquid droplets entrapped inside the solid globules.
