Abstract

The dendrite growth velocity has been determined for tin in melts undercooled as much as 40°C (approximately twice the maximum undercooling reported previously). The results can be represented approximately asV = 0.8 (ΔT) 2

WhereV is the growth velocity in mm s−1 and ΔT is the undercooling in degrees centrigrade.
