A two-dimensional (2-D) coupled cellular automaton (CA)-PanEngine model is developed for the simulation of dendritic growth and microsegregation formation in solidification of quaternary alloy system. In the model, the CA approach is employed to describe dendritic growth. The dynamics of dendritic growth is calculated according to the difference between the local equilibrium liquidus temperature and local actual temperature, incorporating with the Gibbs–Thomson effect. Based on the local liquid compositions of three solutes, which are determined by solving the solutal transport equation in the domain, the local equilibrium liquidus temperature and equilibrium solid concentrations of three solutes at the solid/liquid (SL) interface are evaluated with the aid of a thermodynamic phase equilibrium calculation package PanEngine. To reduce computation time, a data tabulation coupling strategy between CA and PanEngine is adopted. The model is validated through the comparisons of simulated results with the predictions of the Scheil model and the equilibrium model for the evolution of solid fraction with the decrease of temperature and for the solid composition profiles as a function of solid fraction in an Al-4.5wt%Cu-0.5wt%Mg-1wt%Si alloy. It is demonstrated that the present model can be used to simulate the evolution of dendritic growth morphology and to quantitatively predict the microsegregation patterns in solidification of quaternary Al-rich alloys.
