Abstract

The shape of liquid-lead inclusions in a solid aluminium matrix has been studied at 410°C and 610°C respectively. It is shown that the shape of the liquid depends on both the size of the inclusions, and the dislocation structure of the matrix. Both effects might be used to explain some of the discrepancies which have been reported in previous studies on the same system. A definite faceted to non-faceted transition of the inclusions for these temperatures has not been observed.
