Features of PanSolidification

Overall Design

• The system composition profile, phase fraction, and phase concentration evolution during solidification

• Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) evolution during solidification.

• Back diffusion in the primary matrix phase during the solidification process.

Data Structure

Thermodynamic and mobility parameters are stored in TDB file, and the kinetic parameters for undercooling and coarsening effects are stored in an SDB file in “Extensible Markup Language” (XML) format, which is a standard markup language and well-known for its extendability. In accordance with the XML syntax, a set of well-formed tags are specially designed to define the back diffusion model for the morphology of primary phase and its corresponding model parameters such as interfacial energy, latent heat, coarsening geometric factor, dendrite tip factor, solute trapping parameter, solid diffusivity factor and boundary layer factor.
