Phase-field study of solute trapping effect in rapid solidification
The phase-field model of Echebarria, Folch, Karma, and Plapp
[Phys. Rev. E 70 (2004) 061604] is extended to the case of rapid solidification
in which local non-equilibrium phenomena occur in the bulk phases and within
the diffuse solid-liquid interface. Such an extension leads to the fully hyperbolic
system of equations given by the atomic diffusion equation and the phase-field
equation of motion. This model is applied to the problem of solute trapping,
which is accompanied by the entrapment of solute atoms beyond chemical
equilibrium by a rapidly moving interface. The model predicts the beginning of
complete solute trapping and diffusionless solidification at a finite solidification
velocity.
