Commercial purity Al‐40% Cu alloys were directionally solidified under a constant temperature gradient of 9 K/mm and growth rate (R) varying from 8 to 305 μm/sec. Cellular structure was obtained with a single primary CuAl 2 rod‐like dendrite in the cell centre and a fanned‐out eutectic structure surrounding it, while the boundary was composed of a coarser eutectic structure. The intercellular spacing and/or the CuAl 2 interdendritic spacing varied with (R) −1/3 . The UTS increased with R and was found to be lower than that of AlCuAl 2 eutectics grown under similar conditions. The fracture strength of the primary CuAl 2 dendrites was calculated and was found to increase with decreasing their cross‐sectional area.
