X‐ray imaging, which permits the microscopic visualization of metal alloy solidification dynamics, can be coupled with controlled solidification to create microstructures by design. This x‐ray image shows a process‐derived composite microstructure being made from a eutectic Al‐17.1 at.%Cu alloy by successive solidification and remelting steps.
