Abstract
Modeling of macrosegregation has experienced explosive growth since the pioneering studies of Flemings and coworkers in the mid-1960s. This article presents a review of early contributions, followed by several examples of more recent studies where generalized versions of Flemings' macrosegregation model have been applied to industrial casting processes. The successes and shortfalls of the models in predicting measured macrosegregation patterns are highlighted. Next, advanced macrosegregation models that include a detailed consideration of the solidification microstructure are reviewed. Model results are presented that illustrate the profound effects of combined solid movement and melt convection on macrosegregation. Important issues deserving future research attention are identified.
