Abstract

The deviations from local equilibrium at a rapidly moving solid-liquid interface are well documented. The fraction of solute atoms in the liquid at the interface that joins the crystal during rapid solidification approaches unity and the interface temperature drops. Experimental and theoretical work on impurity incorporation and interfacial undercooling is reviewed. Past and future experiments to test the theories are discussed.
