What is Understanding Solidification Processes about?
Solidification involves the formation of crystalline nuclei in an undercooled liquid melt and the subsequent growth of these nuclei into a solid. The driving force for solidification is the decrease in free energy (ΔG) when liquid transforms to solid below the melting temperature (Tm). ΔG can be estimated using the Turnbull extrapolation as ΔHf(Tm - T)/Tm, where ΔHf is the heat of fusion. Nucleation and growth are the two processes involved in first-order solidification phase transitions from liquid to
