The tensile and compressive strengths of directionally and randomly grown samples of naphthalene, benzil, and their eutectic in the faceted‐faceted benzil‐naphthalene system have been determined. The tensile strength of naphthalene and the eutectic increased significantly on directional solidification. Directional solidification substantially enhanced the compressive strength of the eutetic whes rea decrease in compressiv strength was observed in case of directionally grown naphthalene. In case of benzil, no appreciable change in strength was observed on directional solidification. A comparison between the tensile and compressive strength was made. The compressive strength was 2.5–3.8 times more than the tensile strength of naphthalene, grown randomly, benzil and their eutectic grown randomly and directionally.
