dc.description.abstract | Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Grain refinement is of importance for metallic materials since it provides multiple benefits, such as improved castability, reduced casting defects and improved mechanical properties. From extensive research carried out in the past decades, it has been widely accepted that solute is one of the crucial factors for achieving grain refinement. However, grain refinement is a complex phenomenon, depending on not only solutes in the melt to provide growth restriction but also the physical and chemical nature of the nucleant particles (either endogenous or exogenous). Although significant progress has been made on the subject, some critical questions still remain open, and a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of solute effect on grain refinement is still desirable. In this paper, we present an overview of the solute effect on grain refinement based on our recent advances made in the LiME Research Hub. This covers the effect of solute on nucleation potency of nucleant particles due to interfacial segregation, columnar to equiaxed transition (CET), growth restriction and eventually on the overall grain refinement. | en_US |
