Nowadays,thermal condition and solute field are considered as the potential dominant factors controlling competitive grain growth during directional solidification process.However,the controlling modes and critical conditions of competitive grain growth have been drastically debated over the past two decades.In this work,thermal condition and solute field are combined to study the competitive grain growth in the converging case by experimental observation and numerical simulation of bicrystal samples.We find the competitive grain growth is controlled by the cooperative effect of thermal condition and solute field,and the controlling modes are related to the bicrystal misorientation between favorably and unfa-vorably oriented grains.When the unfavorably oriented grain is low misoriented,unfavorably oriented grain dominates grain selection,and the competitive grain growth performs as solute field domination.However,with the increase of unfavorably oriented grain's misorientation,the grain selection converts into favorably oriented grain domination,and the competitive grain growth changes to thermal condition domination.To explain these abnormal transformation phenomena,we propose a misorientation depen-dent thermal condition-solute field cooperative domination model and identify the critical conditions by a critical misorientation (θcm).According to dynamic equation of dendrite growth,we calculate the critical misorientation θcm to prove this model.The theoretical calculation results agree well with the experimental results.
