Material Science: (Solidification)

What is the solute atoms concentration with position for a directional solidification of alloy?

Please don\'t answer if you don\'t know the right answer. Thanks.

Solution

During directional solidification, the solute atom concentration increases with increase in distance from the outside surface. For example during solidification of a spherical casting, the solute concentration will be maximum at the core and minimum on the surface.
