Abstract
Experimental data related to the evolution of the distribution of solutes during directional solidification of an aluminium-rich Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy with a columnar dendritic structure are described. Then results concerning the effect of solidification conditions on the overall solidification kinetics of this alloy are presented for both equiaxed dendritic and columnar dendritic structures. The predictions of a numerical model previously developed to simulate the solidification of multicomponent alloys at the dendritic scale are used to discuss the experimental results.
