The analysis of the data obtained allowed revealing using mathematical models the influence of the chemical composition and temperature of melts on their properties and the dendritic structure of castings. It was established the variation of the melt parameters depending on the particular chemical elements of steels as C, Si, Mn, O, P, V, Cr. The established analytical dependences shown that increasing density and viscosity contributes to the dispersion of the dendritic structure and viscosity is of the major effect. The derived quantitative patterns allows to evaluate structure formation of cast structural low and medium alloy steels.}, type={Article accepted}, title={Influence of Melt Properties on the Dendritic Structure of Steel Castings}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130189/PDF/AFE%201_2024_01.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2024.149245}, keywords={Steel, Chemical composition, melt, Dendrite, viscosity, Density, Energy of boundary, Wetting angle, irregularities, crystallization}, }
