Abstract

A study on the formation characteristics of nano-clusters during rapid solidification process of liquid metal Al was presented. A large-scale liquid system consisting of 400000 Al atoms was used to perform a simulation study on the formation process of nano-clusters during rapid solidification by using constant-pressure molecular dynamics methods and parallel algorithm on the Clare supercomputer. It was observed that the simulation results obtained were in good agreement with the experimental results.
