Evolution of microstructural length scales during solidification of magnesium alloys
Abstract
The microstructure of magnesium alloys usually presents a sixfold symmetry that is not amenable to the usual characterization of fourfold symmetric alloys. A more systematic and quantitative description can be achieved through Fourier analysis of the spatial distribution of the microstructure. Through this analysis, the microstructures obtained from phase-field simulations reveal self-affine regions with different scaling dimensions and …
