Cellular Growth
The following observations of solidification in progress have been provided by courtesy of H. Esaka, J. Stramke and W. Kurz of the
Department of Materials, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland. They represent "Metal-like columnar
dendritic growth in succinonitrile-aceton alloys". The succinonitrile-aceton is an organic system which is translucent to light, making
the solidification process visible in an optical microscope. For the theory of dendritic growth see: W. Kurz, D.J. Fisher

Dendritic solidification in Fe-0.11 wt% C, velocity 10 mm/s, temperature gradient 100 K/mm.
Have a careful look at the development of the secondary dendrite arms. The initial spacing
between the secondary dendrite arms is much finer than in the final microstructure. This is
because of coarsening - some of the finer arms dissolve as the coarser ones grow. The later
stages also show the coalescence of the dedrite arms (both primary and secondary).

es el tiempo de relajacin, esto es, el tiempo que tarda en reducir las diferencias de
concentracin a un factor de 1/e.
Si los coeficientes de difusin son del orden de 10-13 m2/s
y los espaciamientos de los brazos de las dendritas pueden variar de 10-3 a 10-4 m
Los tiempos de homogenizacin pueden variar de pocos minutos a varias horas.

If the diffusion coefficients are of the order of 10-13 m2/s and the dendrite arm
spacing may vary from 10-3 to 10-4 m, homogenization time may vary from a
few minutes to several hours.
