Cu-Pb and Bi-Ga monotectic alloys of nominal hypermonotectic compositions were directionally solidified under various furnace translation rates, temperature gradients, and gravity levels. Gravity was varied by solidifying the alloys under ground conditions and in the furnace aboard NASA KC-135 aircraft, flying on parabolic trajectories. High translation rates, high gradients, high gravity levels, and higher density and lower thermal conductivity of the L2phase favored the formation of fiber composite structure, while the opposite conditions resulted in structures consisting of L2droplets in α matrix. A modified particle engulfment theory as originally enunciated by Ulhmannet al.is proposed to explain these observations.
