Abstract Directional solidification of eutectic Al-Cu alloys has been studied to demonstrate the influence of both impurity concentration and convective conditions. The λ R relations show that higher iron concentration and intensive stirring coarsen the microstructure. The formation and growth of new iron-containing phases at the solidification front restrict impurity influence. Kinetic data follow a dependence λ.R n=const with n-value close to 0,5.
