Effect of laser shock on lamellar eutectic growth: A phase-field study

Eutectic growth trajectory is a temperature-dependent important behavior that concerns interface stability and subsequent solidification microstructure. In this work, a multiphase-field lattice-Boltzmann method is employed to investigate the effect of thermal shock on eutectic evolution by imposing a laser spot inside the melt. Two morphology feature parameters, average growth velocity and average characteristic path deviation angle of the...
