In this study, a series of Bridgman casting experiments were conducted to study the physical processes occurring in 2D grain selectors with different geometric parameters. The corresponding effects of the geometric parameters on grain selection were quantified by using an optical microscopy (OM) and a scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) equipped with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) function. Based on the results, the influences of the geometric parameters of the grain selectors are discussed, and an underlying mechanism accounting for the experimental results is proposed. The critical nucleation undercooling in the 2D grain selectors during grain selection was also analyzed.
