Eutectic divorced

Eutectic divorced Structure where the components of a eutectic mixture appear to be entirely separate. 

In commercial alloys, 2inc is usually dissolved in the magnesium matrix and in the hard magnesium—aluminum phase when aluminum is present. Zinc additions to magnesium—aluminum alloys change the eutectic stmcture to a so-called divorced eutectic, characteri2ed by the presence of massive compound particles surrounded by a magnesium-rich sohd solution.

There are a number of other aspects of eutectic solidification, particularly the divorced eutectics," and the pseudo-binary eutectics which occur in multicomponent systems. These are both very specialised topics and will not be dealt with further here.
