A stochastic model for simulating the microstructure formation of Mg alloy AZ91 during solidification was developed based on the finite element method(FEM) for macroscopic model of heat transfer calculation and a modified Cellular Automaton (mCA) for microscopic modeling of nucleation, growth of crystal. In this model, the effect of solute redistribution, interface curvature and preferred orientation was considered. A numerical simulation was developed with C++ program language. The computation was carried out to understand the effect of varying processing parameters, such as nucleation parameters and heat transfer coefficient, ...
