Abstract
An earlier paper modelling the monotectic interface [Derby and Favier, Acta Met. 31 (1983) 1123] implied that the liquid phase in irregular monotectics will be in advance of the average interface position. Such a geometry suggests a gradient effect on the fibrous irregular structure. Experiments in the Cu-Pb and pseudobinary Al-In-Sn irregular monotectics reveal a growth law of λυ1/2G1/31/3= constant relating fibre spacing (λ), growth rate (ν) and temperature gradient (G). This is compared with the similar laws reported in some facetted/non-facetted eutectics.
