Abstract
Up until now, we have only considered dendrite growth from a pure melt. Such a dendrite is also called a thermal dendrite. The dendritic structure on the interface may describe the temperature profile in the melt. However, such a profile will not be traceable after the solidification is completed. A more practical dendrite growth system is the binary alloy system. The dendritic structure not only describes the interface shape but, at the same time, also describes the variation of impurity concentration. After the solidification is completed, the impurity distribution profile remains in the solid state and has a profound significance on the properties of the final materials. This chapter is devoted to this important subject.
