TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the search of adequate solidification conditions (alloy composition, cooling rate, and solidification velocity) which determine the occurrence of a microstructural transition from the cellular to the dendritic regime during the transient unidirectional solidification of hypoeutectic Pb-Sb alloys and on the micro-structural evolution after such transition.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a high mean tensile pre-load on the fatigue life of an Ibis type of steel reinforced aluminium conductor (ACSR) mounted on a mono-articulated cast aluminium suspension clamp was evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined theoretical and experimental approach is developed to quantitatively determine solidification thermal variables such as transient metal/mold heat transfer coefficients, tip growth rates, thermal gradients, tip cooling rates and local solidification time during downward unsteady-state solidification of hypoeutectic Al-Cu alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cellular and dendritic microstructures of two different Pb-Sb alloys on the resultant corrosion behavior were evaluated using a water-cooled unidirectional solidification system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of cooling rate on the cellular growth of a Pb-Sb alloy and evaluated the influences of cell size and of the corresponding macrosegregation profile on the resultant corrosion behavior.
