Fig. 7: Vapourisation induced chemical heterogenisation.

From: A thermal fluid dynamics framework applied to multi-component substrates experiencing fusion and vaporisation state transitions

Fig. 7

Volume fraction of Cr, (a) and Fe, (b), at the base of the domain following the power beam drilling heat source application. Differences in vaporisation temperatures of the constituent elements leads to non-uniform vaporisation rates; Cr has become depleted in this region relative to the other elements.
