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).
