Motion of Bubbles in the Mushy Zone

Journal Article · · Scripta Materialia
Radical bubble motion in the mushy zone during solidification of transparent material was observed. Often, bubbles jump at great speeds, from locations to locations towards higher temperature regions in the mushy zone. This type of radical bubble motion can affect the final distribution and size of pores in a solidifying casting.
