Growth of particles in a ternary melt

The growth of particles in the ternary melt considering solute interactions is investigated employing the asymptotic method. The asymptotic solution of the dynamic model of the particle reveals the significant influence of solute interactions on the growth and interface morphology in the ternary alloy melt. The attractive interaction between the solutes causes the interface concentration of the major solute decrease, while that of the minor solute increase, the interface temperature decrease, and particle growth decelerate. By contrast, the repulsive interaction between the solutes causes the interface concentration of the major solute increase, while that of the minor solute decrease, and the interface temperature increases, and the particle growth accelerates. The solute interactions in the ternary alloy melt may make the particle evolve into complex interfacial patterns.
