Spray forming exhibited an equiaxed grain morphology of the primary a-phase
in Al-4.5 Cu alloy, round to irregular non-dendritic morphology of the pri
mary or-phase in Al-15 Cu alloy particulate eutectic morphology in Al-33 Cu
alloy and non-faceted growth morphology of the primary CuAl2 beta -phase i
n Al-40 Cu alloy. Development of microstructure during spray forming of,Al-
Cu alloys is discussed in light of the solidification behaviour of droplets
and spray-deposits. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. ALI rights reserved.
