Recently, much attention has been given to directional solidified eutectic (DSE) materials for functional and structural applications. DSE materials take advantage from their microstructural features. Typically, DSE are dense homogeneous materials composed by fine microstructures without grain boundaries (GBs). Since impurities and defects typically concentrate at GBs, their deleterious effects on the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties can thus be minimized.
