Nucleated embryos grow, coupled with convection by induction during thermal arrest. The semi-solid structure during thermal arrest is captured after rheo-processing and casting. Fundamental solidification principles are used to describe observations of the solid to liquid ratio in the time range during thermal arrest.enCSIR-RCSSolidificationNucleation of phase transformationCrystal structureSemi solid metalsSemi solid castingMaterial sciencesArticleCurle, U., Moller, H., & Wilkins, J.
