Abstract

In directional solidification, a sample is pulled in an externally imposed temperature gradient. When the pulling direction and the temperature gradient are not perfectly aligned, a transverse temperature gradient is generated in the sample. We investigate the dynamics of lamellar eutectic patterns, both by experimental observations and by numerical simulations, and find that it is dramatically affected by a transverse gradient. Whereas, in its absence, the labyrinth patterns that are formed in the initial stage of solidification persist over the entire duration of the experiments, a transverse temperature gradient induces a drift of the pattern which rapidly generates a regular array of lamellae. The drift speed is found to be consistently larger than expected from the normal growth hypothesis, both in simulations and experiments.
