Claims24
A method for controlling and manipulating solidification of a molten material, the method comprising:
- generating a gradient pattern comprising multiple elements on at least one of at least a portion of a substrate and at least a portion of the molten material, wherein the gradient pattern is in a matrix format;
- and
- depositing the molten material on at least a portion of the substrate at least partially at the location of the gradient pattern on the at least one of the substrate and the molten material.
A method for controlling and manipulating solidification of a molten material, the method comprising:
- generating a gradient pattern on at least a portion of a substrate;
- depositing the molten material on at least a portion of the substrate with the gradient pattern;
- obtaining information about an effect of a gradient pattern on a resulting product from the deposited molten material;
- and
- controlling the generating of the gradient pattern based on the obtained information.
A method for controlling and manipulating solidification of a molten material, the method comprising:
- generating a gradient pattern on at least a portion of a substrate;
- depositing the molten material on at least a portion of the substrate with the gradient pattern;
- wherein the gradient pattern is a compositional gradient pattern and wherein the compositional gradient pattern comprises at least one material deposited on the substrate.
A method for continuous casting of a molten material, the method comprising:
- rotating a substrate;
- generating a gradient pattern comprising multiple elements on at least one of at least a portion of the substrate and at least a portion of the molten material, wherein the gradient pattern is in a matrix format;
