Summary/ Conclusions
NTNU
• Eutectic structures can be regular/irregular, depending on facetted or
non-facetted growth.
• Eutectic structures can be lamellar or fibrous, depending on relative
amounts of the phases.
• Eutectic grows with phases side by side in a coupled way with diffusion
parallel to the front. The front is macroscopically flat and isothermal.
• Eutectics are characterized by a lamellar spacing, λ, which is controlled
by diffusion and curvature and is a function of growth rate.
• Irregular eutectics grow at a higher undercooling and a non-isothermal
front.
• Alloys with off-eutectic compositions can grow in a coupled way
depending on temperature gradient and growth rate
• Small amounts of residual eutectics often solidify in a decoupled,
“divorced” way
26
Summary / Conclusions
NTNU
• Peritectic reactions, l + α →β, occur at the interface between α and the
melt. This means that α becomes isolated and further reaction can only
occur by solid state diffusion through β which is a slow process.
27
Summary/ Conclusions
NTNU
• Redistribution of solute since liquid- and solid solubility are different
leads to segregation.
• Microsegregation occurs as concentration variations on a scale of the
secondary dendrite arm spacing
• Equilibrium solidification only occurs in special cases, fast solid
diffusion, slow cooling.
• Assumption of no solid diffusion, complete mixing in liquid often
realistic assumption
• Fourier number used to assess degree of back diffusion into solid
during solidification
• Non-equilibrium segregation causes freezing range, ΔT* to be larger
than equilibrium freezing range, ΔT0 and liquidus concentrationCl to
increase beyondC0/k, often up to Ce.
