Five decades of research on the development of eutectic as engineering materials

We present a brief review and perspective on the development of eutectic alloys, emphasizing the emergence of complex microstructures during eutectic solidification of ternary and higher-order multicomponent alloys. Such alloys' abundant existence promises a large domain in the alloy development space for newer materials suitable for high-temperature applications. Hence the review explores these developments in eutectic alloys based on aluminum,...
