Conceived as a companion volume to the earlier works, \u003ci\u003eMaterials Processing during Casting\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) and \u003ci\u003ePhysics of Functional Materials\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), this book analyzes solidification and crystallization processes in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStarting from the thermodynamic point of view, it gives a complete description, taking into account kinetics and mass transfer, down to the final structure. Importantly, the book shows the relationship between the theory and the experimental results.
