Phase-Field Modeling of Contact Melting in Binary Eutectics    [PDF]

V. Kartuzov, O. Bystrenko

Computer simulations of contact melting in binary alloys with chemical miscibility gap are performed within the isothermal approximation on the basis of phase field theory. As evidenced by simulations, the simplest phase field model is capable of reproducing the general properties of the phenomenon. The numerical results obtained suggest the diffusive nature of contact melting.
