Solidification
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..
Solidification can occur when molten rock cools, or when sediments undergo lithification.
Solidification occurs by the formation of chemical bonds between neighboring atoms or molecules.
A product of the solidification of magma or molten lava is igneous rock.
Solidification
Pure metals normally solidify into polycrystalline masses, but it is relatively easy to produce single crystals by directional solidification from the melt.

solidification of metals
Melting is a solid turing into a liquid. Solidification (or freezing) is a liquid turning into a solid. Both are reversible reactions- if you turn a melt into a liquid, you can freeze it back into the solid again.
grey cast iron because during solidification the graphite flakes expands Bismuth and antimony are metallic elements that expand on solidification (~3-4%). These elements solidify in a monoclinic (not close-packed) structure which becomes more dense when it transforms from a solid to a liquid. A range of bismuth alloys are used for low temperature melt applications that have take advantage of the expansion to get close tolerance die castings. Gallium is a third metal element that expands during solidification (31 deg C).
rapid solidification is when somthing turns into a solid very quickly
Yes, solidification is also known as freezing, or fusion. This is the solidification of a liquid to a solid. A gas can that is solidifying is said to be going through deposition
