Abstract
A great variety of microstructures may be observed in an alloy when th e solidification conditions and the composition are changed. A criteri on for the selection of a given microstructure is presented which is b ased on comparison of the relevant interface response functions and on the assumption of maximum interface temperature. Microstructure selec tion maps for two Al base systems (Al-Fe and Al-Cu) are presented and analysed in the light of the present theory.
