The microstructural evolution of Ti-45 at.%Al alloy during directional solidification was simulated by applying a solute diffusion controlled solidification model.The obtained results have shown that under high thermal gradients the stable primary spacing can be adjusted via branching or competitive growth.For dendritic structures formed under a high thermal gradient,the secondary dendrite arms are developed not very well in many cases due to the branching mechanism under a constrained dendritic growth condition.Furthermore,it has been observed that,with increasing pulling velocity,there exists a cell/dendrite transition region consisting of cells and dendrites,which varies with the thermal gradient in a contradicting way,i.e.increase of the thermal gradient leading to the decrease of the range of the transition region.The simulations agree reasonably well with experiment results.

The resulting results have shown that under high thermal gradients the stable primary spacing can be adjusted via via branching or competitive growth. Formations dendritic structures formed under a high thermal gradient, the secondary dendrite arms are developed not very well in many cases due to the branching mechanism under a constrained dendritic growth condition. Stillrther, it has been observed that, with increasing pull velocity, there exists a cell / dendrite transition region consisting of cells and dendrites, which varies with the thermal gradient in a contradicting way, ieincrease of the thermal gradient leading to the decrease of the range of the transition region. The simulations agree reasonably well with with experiment results.
