| 【文章摘要】 Since most typical alloys in industrial applications are multicomponent with three or more components, and various CA models proposed in the past mainly focus on the binary alloys, a two-dimensional modified cellular automaton model allowing for the quantitatively predicting dendrite growth of multicomponent alloys in the low Pe′clet number regime is presented. The elimination of the mesh-induced anisotropy is achieved by adopting a modified virtual front tracking method. A new efficient method based on the lever rule is applied to calculate the solid fraction increment of the interfacial cells. The thermodynamic data such as liquidus temperature, the partition coefficients, and the slope of liquidus surface, needed for determining the dynamics of dendrite growth, are obtained by coupling with Pan Engine. This model is applied to simulate the dendrite morphology and microsegregation of Al–Cu–Mg ternary alloy both for single and multidendrites growth. The simulated results demonstrate that the difference of the concentration distribution profiles ahead of the dendrite tip for each alloying element mainly results from the different partition coefficients and solute diffusion coefficients. Comparison with the prediction of analytical model is carried out and it reveals the correctness of the model.Consequently, the difference in interdendritic microsegregation behavior of different components is analyzed. |
