The settling velocity of equiaxed dendrites can cause macrosegregation and influence the structure of the equiaxed zone during the casting solidification process. So an understanding of the settling characteristics is needed to predict the structure and segregation in castings. The settling velocity of NH4Cl equiaxed dendrites of non-spherical geometry was studied experimentally in an NH4Cl-70wt.%H2O solution.

1. Introduction Free equiaxed dendrites are frequently observed in melts, growing from heterogeneous nucleation, fragmented den- drite arms, or initial nucleation on the mold wall or melt surface. [1–4] The sedimentation of equiaxed dendrites in a melt d
