Abstract: It is found that the anomalous eutectics can be separated on macroscopic scale by flow caused by electromagnetic stirring, and the separated phase is the leading faceted phase with the solution entmpy over 23J/(mol.K). By using this technology, a new kind of composite pipe ond gear with good abrasive properties are made without adding any reinforced particles. Emphases are paid on the researehes about formation mechanism of seporated eutectic and abrasive property of the composite pipe or gear. The result shows that the entropy of solution controlling the eutectic microstructure is also valid and useful as a criterion of separated eutectic, and the kind and its chemical scope of the off-eutectic used to make composite can be calculated accoofing to this theory.

Key words: composite pipe or gear, separated eutectic, entropy of solution, electromagnetic stirring
