Abstract

In directionally solidified 2D samples at ternary eutectic compositions, the stable three-phase pattern is established to be lamellar structure with ABAC stacking, where A, B, and C are crystalline phases. Beyond the stability limits of the ABAC pattern, the system uses various spacing adjustment mechanisms to revert to the stable regime.
