Ra. Overfelt et al., COMPARISON OF THEORY WITH EXPERIMENT IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYTICAL MODELING OF DIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION, Journal of crystal growth, 147(3-4), 1995, pp. 403-407
Naumann's one-dimensional (1D) thermal model of directional solidifica
tion has been shown to give good agreement with experimental data on t
he solidification of a complex metal alloy. The model's cold zone temp
erature was used as a fitting parameter to account for decreased heat
transfer in the cold zone presumably due to gap formation between the
metal and the crucible.
