An experimental apparatus,which has a convection generator and an aid-heater,is developed for the study of the effect of stable laminar liquid flow on the directional solidification process by the use of transparent alloy SCN-2wt-% Ace.The flow is perpendicular to primary arms. By in-situ observation and photographing at different specific moments,it has been found that such a flow can cause a great change in primary spacings of constrained columnar crystals:for cells,the spacings become smaller;but for dendrites,they become larger.The former is mainly due to the tilted growth of upstreamside branches,while the latter is mainly due to the coup- ling effect of liquid flow with solutal field around dendrite tips.The faster the liquid flows,the further smaller the cell spacing and the further larger the dendrite spacing.

Accelerated crucible rotation technique(ACRT) has been used for the directional solidification of Al-4.5wt% Cu binary alloy.By rotating the crucible at varying rate and direction,forced liquid flows are aroused These flows include Ekman flow,Couette flow and Spiral Shear flow.Especially,Ekman flow acts directly at the L/S interface,changes diffusion and heat exchange conditions and has strong influences on the morphology of L/S interface.Experimental results show that,compared with normal Bridgman specimens,the solidification region is much narrower and the cell spacing is much smaller in ACRT specimens.These influences become much stronger when the accelerating rate is increased.
