Thermodynamic description and unidirectional solidification of eutectic organic alloys: IV. Binary systems neopentylglycol-succinonitrile and amino-methyl-propanediol-succinonitrile

Unidirectional solidification experiments were performed with selected NPG-SCN and AMPD-SCN alloys in order to verify phases involved in solid-liquid equilibria and the nature of eutectic growth in these systems. We find that eutectic growth in NPG-SCN eutectic alloy occurs with both solid phases being non-facetted and with a rod-like eutectic structure. The eutectic as well as some hypo-eutectic alloys from the AMPD-SCN system show irregular eutectic growth with a non-facetted BCC_A2 phase of SCN and a facetted monoclinic phase of AMPD.
