Abstract
So far I have discussed my motives in beginning research into the solidification of metals, my advocacy of the crystal separation theory, and control of cast structures based on the separation theory. In brief, I have discussed the exceedingly simple principle that in order to obtain equiaxed crystals, one should ascertain where they form and then cause many crystals to form there and separate and precipitate. If one wants columnar crystals, one should ensure that the crystals do not separate from where they have formed.
