| Abstract | Quaternary eutectic presents far more complexity than binary and ternary eutectics, and its understanding can offer fundamental knowledge of the microstructure formation in a multi-component system. Accurate characterization of the quaternary eutectic structure can provide experimental evidence to validate simulation models for the multi-phase solidification. In this study, a quaternary eutectic alloy with a composition of Al-16.74 Cu-40.54 Ag-6.46 Mg in wt% was directly solidified with a velocity of 0.4 μm/s in a vertical type Bridgeman furnace. The composition of the constituent phases in the quaternary eutectic was determined by electron probe micro-analyzer, and their crystal structures were examined by x-ray diffraction. The quaternary eutectic is composed of α-Al, θ-Al$_{2}$Cu, AgAlMg, and a new intermetallic phase considered as Ag$_{5}$Mg$_{3}$Al$_{2}$. The morphology of the eutectic phases, and their spatial distribution were studied in 3D by a serial sectioning technique combined with the focused ion beam. The quaternary eutectic exhibits regular rod-like or fibrous morphology despite of the intermetallic nature of its three eutectic phases. Both the rod splitting and merging were observed common for all the eutectic phases in the 3D analysis, while only the rod splitting can be determined in the 2D analysis. Interconnected complex structures of split and merged rods of the AgAlMg and Ag$_{5}$Mg$_{3}$Al$_{2}$ phases were observed in the 3D structure. Their formation is attributed to the higher tendency of the AgAlMg and Ag$_{5}$Mg$_{3}$Al$_{2}$ phases to split and branch to compete for the Ag and Mg elements. The phase fractions of the eutectic phases were determined in both 2D and 3D, and it is concluded that the 3D measurement gives relatively better result. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
