High solidification cooling rates during unsteady-state conditions of solidification of Al-based alloys can induce different microstructural length scales or metastable phases, leading to improved properties. The present study aims to characterize the microstructural arrangement of the hypereutectic Al–8 wt%Ni alloy, unidirectionally solidified in unsteady-state heat flow conditions, examining the influence of the cooling rate in the development of the Al–Al3Ni eutectic and the primary phase. A columnar-to-equiaxed macrostructural transition is shown to occur at a solidification cooling rate [...] of about 4.8 °C/s, with different microstructures associated with each morphological zone. The observation of microstructures of hypoeutectic, eutectic and hypereutectic Al–Ni alloys, has permitted an asymmetric coupled zone diagram to be proposed. The microstructural interphase spacings of the Al–8 wt%Ni alloy are experimentally determined and correlated to [...], and the Vickers microhardness (HV) is shown to decrease with the increase in such spacings. The higher experimental HV profile of the examined hypereutectic alloy as compared to that of the eutectic Al–Ni alloy is attributed to the formation of a supersaturated solid solution of Ni in α-Al.

The course of process validation of CAFE-Calcosoft (ESI-Group) models was presented. It was shown the short description of Cellular Automaton Finite Element (CAFE-3D) method which was applied to system to solidification process identification and to predict the structure of chosen Al-Si alloy. It was determined the sensitivity of thermal model and model to forecast the microstructure on the variability of particular parameters applied to the models taking into consideration the columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) zone. The cylindrical casts which solidified in homogenous silica (quartz-Q) sand mould (A) and also in high insulation (HI) mould with chill (B) which coerces high axial temperature gradient, was investigated. The experiment gave the basis to the validation test of CAFE model considering the CET zone which was preceded by two corresponding cases of solidification in respect to thermal conditions of cast-mould system. The virtual structures of studied casts were compared with real structures. It was shown the satisfactory agreement of both structures.
