Comparing microsegregation predictions to experimental results is not straightforward. Firstly, modeling needs simplifications to be practicable. Secondly, both sides import their typical errors: on the model side, hypotheses and refinements are often secondary to input data quality, especially thermodynamics. On the experimental side, quenching rates (see Figure for silicon maps of steel samples quenched from different temperatures). This article discusses in detail the problems and pitfalls encounterd in such comparisons.
