Abstract

The effect of anisotropic surface tension on the growth of columnar crystals in ternary melt is studied, and the approximate analytical solution of the growth morphology of columnar crystals is given. It is found that in the initial stage of growth, some parts of the interface grow outward, while some parts first grow inward, and grow outward together with other parts after reaching a certain depth, which makes the columnar crystal interface form a remarkable concave and convex formation. Compared with the case in the pure melt and ternary alloy melt, the component added in the ternary alloy melt decreases the effect of the anisotropic surface tension.
