STRUCTURE OF PURE ALUMINIUM-SILICON EUTECTICS.

Abstract

The natural form of the silicon in the pure aluminiumsilicon eutectic at slow growth rates is continuous 'rods'. The silicon phase is ahead of the aluminium phase during the growth process. A remarkably simple explanation is given in terms of constitutional undercooling for the observed structures of this eutectic.
