4.a) For the solidification of iron, calculate the critical radius r* and the activation free energy AG* if nucleation is homogeneous. Values for the latent heat of fusion and surface free energy are -1.85 x 10° J/m3 and 0.204 J/m², respectively. Use the supercooling value of 295°C for iron. 4.b) Calculate the number of atoms found in a nucleus of critical size. Assume a lattice parameter of 0.292 nm for solid iron at its melting temperature.

Solidification of metals

The term solidification indicates the conversion of material from the state of liquid to the state of solid. The solid-state is more compact and rigid than liquid, and the solidification indicates the transformation of material from a random state to a more compact and crystalline form. The point at which dendrite formation in liquid starts taking place is referred to as the solidification point.
