Columnar and equiaxed solidification in a microgravity environment ? The CETSOL project
MOONEY, ROBIN (2017)The formation of the microstructure and the grain structure during solidification is affected by buoyancy-driven flow and movement of crystals growing in the melt. To allow for pure diffusive solidification conditions, ... -
Columnar to Equiaxed Transition in Peritectic TiAl Based Alloy Studied by a Power-Down Technique
MOONEY, ROBIN (Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2014) -
Computer Modelling of Manufacturing Processes: The Development of a 2D Axisymmetric Model of the Bridgman Casting Process
MCFADDEN, SHAUN; MOONEY, ROBIN; ROBINSON, ANTHONY (2015) -
Conditions for CET in a gamma TiAl alloy
MCFADDEN, SHAUN; MOONEY, ROBIN (2015)The solidification of gamma TiAl alloys is of interest to the aerospace and automotive industries. A gamma TiAl multicomponent alloy: Ti–45.5Al–4.7Nb–0.2C–0.2B (at. %) has been the focus of a study to investigate the ... -
An experimental-numerical method for estimating heat transfer in a Bridgman furnace
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2014)Direct measurement of heat flux and heat transfer coefficients in a Bridgman furnace is not always possible using traditional methods. This study characterised a vertical tubular Bridgman furnace using experimental data ... -
A Front Tracking Model for Transient Solidification of Al-7wt%Si in a Bridgman Furnace
MOONEY, ROBIN (2012)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research. This paper outlines a working onedimensional model for tracking the columnar solidification front in a Bridgman furnace where the pulling velocity, and hence ... -
An investigation into Bridgman furnace solidification of titanium alloys
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2013) -
Macroscale modelling of Bridgman furnace solidification for the prediction of texture evolution and columnar to equiaxed transition
MOONEY, ROBIN; ROBINSON, ANTHONY; MCFADDEN, SHAUN; BATTAGLIOLI, SARA (Institute of Physics, 2016)Bridgman furnaces are commonly used in solidification research owing to their convenience when setting the desired solidification parameters, specifically, the nominal temperature gradient and nominal growth rate. The work ... -
Order verification of a Bridgman furnace front tracking model in steady state
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2014) -
The Role of Verification in Computer Modelling: A Case Study in Solidification Processing
MOONEY, ROBIN (2014) -
Sensitivity analysis of dendritic growth kinetics in a Bridgman furnace front tracking model
MOONEY, ROBIN; MCFADDEN, SHAUN (2016) -
Theoretical analysis to interpret projected image data from in-situ 3-dimensional equiaxed nucleation and growth
MOONEY, ROBIN; McFadden, Shaun (2017)In-situ observation of crystal growth in transparent media allows us to observe solidification phase change in real-time. These systems are analogous to opaque systems such as metals. The interpretation of transient ... -
A Theoretical Overview of Unlearning in Engineering
MOONEY, ROBIN (2016)Unlearning is the deliberate undoing or reversal of what has been previously learned. This skill has been acknowledged in business and academia as being increasingly important for engineers in a highly changeable 21st ...
