When Al-Al
2Cu eutectic alloys are stirred in the liquid-solid state and are solidified, two unique structures are found. One is coexistance of free Al
2Cu with primary
α and eutectic particles in hypoeutectic alloys and coexistance of free
α with primary Al
2Cu and eutectic particles in hypereutectic alloys. Another is crystallization of eutectic particles in the form of rectangular prism. This shape of the eutectic particle is caused by a primary or free Al
2Cu crystal. The size of eutectic particles decreases by increasing the stirring rate. It is suggested that a possible origin of the free Al
2Cu phase is in the morphology of the cellular solid-liquid interface of an eutectic particle and that the leading Al
2Cu phase are rejected out of the cellular interface by stirring.
