The three most commercially important families of alloys for the foundry industry show the formation of faceted/non-faceted eutectics type during solidification: cast irons with graphite (austenite/graphite eutectic), white cast irons (austenite/carbide eutectic) and Al-Si alloys (alfa/silicon eutectic). In the case of white cast irons, the eutectic carbide morphology has decisive influence on mechanical behavior and on degradation resistance (due to solicitation such as abrasion or thermal and/or mechanical cycling) of wearing resistant alloys of the Fe-C-X system (where X stands for one or more of the following elements: Cr, V, Mo, W and, seldom, Nb). The metallic bath nucleant potential on the eutectic of the Fe-C-V system and, thus, on the carbide morphology, were investigated. It was evaluated the nucleant potential for aluminum and titanium addition to the bath. The morphologies changes for the austenite/carbide eutectic were evaluated by optical and scanning electronic microscopy. It was observed that aluminum or titanium addition in alloys with residual content of oxygen or nitrogen promoted VC eutectic morphology change from irregular to fibrous (when aluminum is added) and to divorced (when titanium is added). It is concluded that the presence of nucleant agents in the metallic bath induced the preferred nucleation of the faceted phase at higher temperatures, decreasing the cooperation during the eutectic growth.
