For the case of small interlamellar spacing relative to the solute diffusion length, the steady spatially periodic lamellar eutectic growth with the anisotropic effect of surface tension in directional solidification is studied by the approach of the interfacial wave (IFW) theory. The anisotropic surface tension is expressed as the fourfold symmetric function. We obtained a family of the uniformly valid asymptotic solutions for the steady lamellar eutectic growth and determined the corresponding interfacial patterns affected by anisotropic surface tension. The analytical solution reveals the anisotropic effect of surface tension on the interface shape of lamellar eutectic growth near the triple point. The temperature distribution at the interface shows a noticeable nonuniformity and there is a thin boundary layer for temperature and concentration near the triple point. As the anisotropic surface tension increases, the interface temperature away from the triple-point increases, whereas near the triple point the interface temperature decreases. Compared with the lamellar eutectic growth with isotropic surface tension, the anisotropic surface tension changes the position of the triple point and accelerates the growth of the lamellar eutectic. The theoretical prediction shows quantitatively consistent with recent experimental data without making any artificial adjustments to parameters.

Abstract This paper is to demonstrate that the presence of an electric field can be used to control materials microstructure formation. Special efforts have been made to identify the foremost process control parameters that affect the interface dynamics, and thermoelectric effects on materials microstructure formation during directional solidification. A computational model that integrates microscopic analysis to macroscopic model has been developed and applied to directional solidification of BiMn/Bi eutectic in the presence of electric fields. Numerical results demonstrated that in addition to process parameters, microstructure formation strongly depends on intensity, polarity and duration of applied current, and it changes spontaneously as an electric field is applied. Predicted patterns of microstructures have qualitatively agreed with the experiments. The results indicate the feasibility of utilizing electric fields to control microstructure formation during eutectic growth.

Monotectic alloys are of great industrial importance because of their favorable tribological behavior. Many studies in order to better understand the morphologies obtained by monotectic reaction have been developed. To better understand the morphologies obtained by monotectic Al-1.2wt%Pb alloy reaction, especially in relation to induced convective flow, this paper aims to compare the microstructural evolution of the alloy obteind by directional solidification in transient heat-flow conditions in upward, downwand and horizontal solidification devices. It was observed a morphology transition from particles to fibers on upward and downward cases and a morphology of only particles on the horizontal case. The classical relationship used for eutectic growth, λ2v = C, which was considered applicable to monotectic reactions, didn’t seemed to be valid in the interphase spacing evolution for the downward device, however power functions (λ = C.va) were found in all cases.
