This review provides an overview of significant developments in the field of in situ and operando X-ray imaging of solidification processes, emphasizing key challenges and important contributions in understanding microstructural evolution, defects, and semi-solid deformation of metallic alloy systems. Additionally, process modifications and recent breakthroughs in additive manufacturing technology are discussed.
In this review, we present an overview of significant developments in the field of in situ and operando (ISO) X-ray imaging of solidification processes. The objective of this review is to emphasize the key challenges in developing and performing in situ X-ray imaging of solidification processes, as well as to highlight important contributions that have significantly advanced the understanding of various mechanisms pertaining to microstructural evolution, defects, and semi-solid deformation of metallic alloy systems. Likewise, some of the process modifications such as electromagnetic and ultra-sound melt treatments have also been described. Finally, a discussion on the recent breakthroughs in the emerging technology of additive manufacturing, and the challenges thereof, are presented.
