• Non-steady 3D dendrite tip growth under diffusive and weakly convective conditions. 

      Mirihanage, Wajira; Falch, Ken Vidar; Casari, Daniele; McFadden, Shaun; Browne, David J.; Snigireva, I.; Snigirev, Anatoly; Li, Yanjun; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Three dimensional α-Al dendrite tip growth under varying solute gradients in an Al-Cu-Si alloy melt has been studied using real time synchrotron X-ray imaging and mathematical modelling. X-radiographic image sequences with ...
    • Retrieval of three-dimensional spatial information from fast in situ two-dimensional synchrotron radiography of solidification microstructure evolution 

      Mirihanage, Wajira; Falch, Ken Vidar; Snigireva, Irina; Snigirev, A; Li, Yanjun; Arnberg, Lars; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      In situ synchrotron X-ray radiography of columnar dendritic growth in Al–15 wt.% Cu–9 wt.% Si–0.015 wt.% Sr alloy has been carried out with the temporal and spatial resolutions of 100 ms and 0.65 μm, respectively. ...
    • Revealing internal flow behaviour in arc welding and additive manufacturing of metals 

      Aucott, Lee; Dong, Hongbiao; Mirihanage, Wajira; Atwood, Robert; Kidess, Anton; Gao, Shian; Wen, Shuwen; Marsden, John; Feng, Shuo; Tong, Mingming; Connolley, Thomas; Drakopoulos, Michael; Kleijn, Chris R.; Richardson, Ian M.; Browne, David J.; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Atkinson, Helen V. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Internal flow behaviour during melt-pool-based metal manufacturing remains unclear and hinders progression to process optimisation. In this contribution, we present direct time-resolved imaging of melt pool flow dynamics ...
    • α-Mg primary phase formation and dendritic morphology transition in solidification of a Mg-Nd-Gd-Zn-Zr casting alloy 

      Casari, Daniele; Mirihanage, Wajira; Falch, Ken Vidar; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Friis, Jesper; Schmid-Fetzer, Rainer; Zhao, Dongdong; Li, Yanjun; Sillekens, Wim H.; Mathiesen, Ragnvald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Microstructure evolution in the commercial Mg-Nd-Gd-Zn-Zr alloy Elektron 21, solidified under nearly isothermal conditions, has been studied via in-situ X-ray radiography. For cooling rates View the MathML source≤0.075 ...
