Question: 2. A Bi-Sb alloy solidifies as a rod eutectic two phase mixture (solid rods of one phase embedded in a matrix of the other phase).

 2. A Bi-Sb alloy solidifies as a rod eutectic two phase

2. A Bi-Sb alloy solidifies as a rod eutectic two phase mixture (solid rods of one phase embedded in a matrix of the other phase). The rods are observed to undergo a spheroidization process. Assume all interfaces are isotropic, which is not the case but it is an effect of secondary importance here. a. What is the driving force for this change in morphology? b. How does this change take place? c. Why is a rod eutectic formed instead of a lamellar eutectic
