Abstract

Zn-3.37%Cu peritectic alloy has been unidirectionally solidified with a wide range of growth velocities. It is found that when the growth velocity is beyond 1.0 mm/s, a new kind of lamellar eutectic-like structure occurs in the solidified samples. Furthermore, the relation between lamellar spacing and growth velocity corresponds to λυ1/2=(216±42) μm3/2·s-1/2 where the constant is larger than other eutectic systems.
