Microstructural development
L →α+ L →α+β
Fourth Case (C4)

To distinguish one from the

other, that which resides in
the eutectic
structure is called eutectic
while the other that formed
prior to crossing the
eutectic isotherm is termed
primary both are labeled in
Figure 9.16.

Primary and eutectic alpha

The photomicrograph in Figure 9.17 is of a lead–tin alloy in which both primary
and eutectic structures are shown.

The eutectic structure is a microconstituent even though it is a mixture of two

phases, because it has a distinct lamellar structure, with a fixed ratio of the
two phases.

How to calculate relative amount of

microconstituent
The fraction of
the eutectic
microconstituent is just
the same as the fraction
of liquid from
which it transforms, or
