Grain Initiation and Grain Refinement: An Overview [PDF]
Metals, 2022 Heterogeneous nucleation and grain initiation are two different processes in early-stage solidification (ESS), although both are deterministic. Heterogeneous nucleation refers to the formation of a 2-dimensional (2D) nucleus (a crystal plane of the solid)

Effect of solutes on grain refinement
Progress in Materials Science, 2022 Abstract Grain refinement not only enhances the mechanical performance of as-cast metallic materials but also provides an effective mechanism for controlling cast defects, such as macro-segregation, porosity and coarse second phase particles. Therefore, understanding grain refinement of alloys with different solute additions is of both theoretical ...
