Diffusive Mass Transport at the Macroscale

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Mass transport during solidification is responsible for macrosegregation. The mechanism of mass transport through species diffusion produces diffusion-controlled macrosegregation. Momentum transfer (fluid convection) generates fluid flow/solute diffusion-controlled segregation. The effects of these mechanisms on casting solidification will be discussed in the following chapters.
