Avkristallisering

Avkristallisering is a process used in materials science and engineering to improve the properties of a material by removing impurities and refining its crystalline structure. This technique is particularly important in the production of high-purity metals, semiconductors, and other crystalline materials. The process involves melting the material to a high temperature, where impurities are separated from the main crystalline structure. The molten material is then slowly cooled, allowing it to recrystallize in a more ordered and pure form. This results in a material with improved mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Avkristallisering is commonly used in the manufacturing of steel, aluminum, and other alloys, as well as in the production of silicon for use in semiconductors. The process can be applied to both metals and non-metals, making it a versatile tool in materials engineering.
