Abstract

Crystal growth, by the recently developed Ohno continuous casting (O.C.C) process, was studied using pure tin. The effects of four process variables on crystal growth were studied: these were the mold exit temperature, the casting speed, the melt temperature, and the cooling condition. Small single crystals of 6.4 mm diameter were produced both by repeated necking and by using single crystal seeds. Excellent surface quality was obtained in these small-diameter crystals.
