Short description
Understanding crystal nucleation and crystal growth forms the basis of quantitative modelling of solidification routes in e.g. casting and foundry processes in order to develop a predictive capability in the design of materials during solidification.
This book, based on a symposium held at EUROMAT 2003 aims to gives an overview on current developments in the research of solidification and crystallisation of liquids.

From the contents
Modelling precipitation, eutectoid transformation and theory of TTT / CT curves
Phase dissolution during heating
Rapid solid state transformation phenomena: massive transformation, bainite formation, martensite including crack formation of ceramics
Crystallisation of glass (metals, polymers, ceramics)
Recrystallisation,
Phase transformations during service, diffusion couples/coatings/bonding
