From: Quantification and prediction of solidification textures under additive manufacturing conditions
a Representative grain texture with 60 grain orientations shown by rotated cubes. b Discrete pole figures of panel (a) with grains that touch the solidification front at 15 μs only considered. c Density Pole Figures of panel (b). The color bar denotes Multiples of Random Distribution (MRD). d Density Pole Figure of 4 simulations. e zs[100] or Z-score of the projection sum of the secondary [100] direction on the Y- axis as a function of solidification distance. Blue squares correspond to the simulation shown in panel (a). Gray open circles, squares, and triangles correspond to experimental results for Al1Si, Al3Si, and Al6Si, respectively. The dotted line denotes a Z-score of 1.96, corresponding to the p-value at 0.05. f zp[010] or Z-score of the projection sum of the primary [010] direction on the X-axis. g zp[011] or Z-score of the projection sum of the primary [011] direction on the X-axis. h Number of grains within the melt pool shown in panel (a).
