Title: The measurement of Al-Cu dendrite tip and eutectic interface temperatures and their use for predicting the extent of the eutectic range
Abstract: Dendrite and eutectic interface temperature have been measured in the Al-CuAl2 system near the eutectic composition. The results are compared with theory. In contrast to previous work a good correlation was obtained with eutectic theory using the minimum undercooling condition. Less good agreement was obtained for the dendrite results. The extent of the eutectic range was predicted by the theoretical model but not by the experimental dendrite values. It is suggested that the discrepancies arise because of fluid flow in the vicinity of the dendrite tips.
