1. Crystal growth and solidification. Basic concepts
1.1 Solid and liquid states
As the name suggests, the most obvious consequence of solidification is the sudden drop in the mobility of matter. The flow of pure liquid metals near their melting point is comparable to that of water at ordinary temperature, characterized by a dynamic viscosity of the order of 10 –3 Pa · s (table 1 ). In their solid state, metals and alloys have high tensile strength....
