Abstract

Unidirectional solidification experiments with monotectic and near monotectic Cu-Pb alloys have been performed with the growth direction both parallel and antiparallel to the gravity vector. It was found that a more regular composite structure was possible to achieve in the samples solidified parallel to the gravity vector. It was also found that the amount of lead rich phase, regularily incorporated in the structure, was less than one would expect theoretically. It is proposed that monotectic alloys can solidify to two different kinds of composite structures. One, which can be described by the theory of coupled growth of a rod eutecticum, and the other similar to the growth of primary rods.
