Observations made defining the conditions under which Al halo formation occurs on primary Si and angular Si in pure Al-Si and Sr modified Al-Si alloys during directional solidification with a temperature gradient of 125K cm−1 in the liquid are described. Halo formation is explained in terms of the competitive growth of eutectic Si and primary Al phase.
