Abstract

Approximate but simple expressions for the rate of isothermal coarsening of secondary dendrite arms are presented. Their derivation differs from previous work in that (a) focus is placed on growing dendrite arms, which simplifies the derivation, and (b) the effect of a finite volume fraction solid is taken into account. Expressions for isothermal coarsening are then integrated to predict the final dendrite arm spacing in a cast dendritic microstructure. Coarsening rates predicted for Al-Cu alloys, succinonitrile, and Fe-26 wt pct Ni agree with published experimental data within a factor of 2 which is within the range of variation of experimental data.

Aluminium alloy

An aluminium alloy (or aluminum alloy; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin, nickel and zinc. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further subdivided into the categories heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable. About 85% of aluminium is used for wrought products, for example rolled plate, foils and extrusions.

Brain

A brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. It is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision. It is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. In a human, the cerebral cortex contains approximately 14–16 billion neurons, and the estimated number of neurons in the cerebellum is 55–70 billion. Each neuron is connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons.

Human brain

The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head.
