Abstract

Interface shape and interface solute concentrations have been obtained for lamellar eutectic solidification on the assumption that the latter is proportional to the deviation of the interface from a plane front. It has been shown that the well known constancy of λ2R and ΔTλ in lamellar eutectics is a consequence of conservation of solute during steady state growth and the need to maintain force balance at the triple points on the interface. The model is applied to the Al-CuAl2 eutectic system and the magnitudes of the Gibbs-Thompson coefficients for the two phases are found. These and the interfacial angles are shown to be in good agreement with experiment.
