Interphase anisotropy effects on lamellar eutectics: A numerical study

Résumé

In directional solidification of binary eutectics, it is often observed that two-phase lamellar growth patterns grow tilted with respect to the direction z of the imposed temperature gradient. This crystallographic effect depends on the orientation of the two crystal phases α and β with respect to z. Recently, an approximate theory was formulated that predicts the lamellar tilt angle as a function of the anisotropy of the free energy of the solid(α)-solid(β) interphase boundary. We use two different numerical methods – phase-field (PF) and dynamic boundary-integral (BI) – to simulate the growth of steady periodic patterns in two dimensions as a function of the angle θR between z and a reference crystallographic axis for a fixed relative orientation of α and β crystals, that is, for a given anisotropy function (Wulff plot) of the interphase boundary. For Wulff plots without unstable interphase-boundary orientations, the two simulation methods are in excellent agreement with each other, and confirm the general validity of the previously proposed theory. In addition, a crystallographic “locking” of the lamellae onto a facet plane is well reproduced in the simulations. When unstable orientations are present in the Wulff plot, it is expected that two distinct values of the tilt angle can appear for the same crystal orientation over a finite θR range. This bistable behavior, which has been observed experimentally, is well reproduced by BI simulations, but not by the PF model. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
