It is proposed that the widely observed transitions in solidification of undercooled melts from a coarse grained dendritic to a grain refined equiaxed microstructure result from the fragmentation of dendrites by remelting during the period following recalescence where the inter-dendritic melt solidifies. This mechanism is supported by the experimental demonstration in Cu-Ni alloys that the transition undercoolings vary with cooling rate in a way which is relatively well described quantitatively by a simple fragmentation model. The latter also predicts the occurrence of two transitions, both of which are observed.
