Abstract A study is made of the dynamics of self-consistent motion and growth of spherical new-phase nuclei from a eutectic melt. The growth rate of nuclei is shown to be proportional to supersaturation in both components. Motion of a single nucleus in a concentration-gradient field and of a pair of nuclei in a self-consistent concentration field is investigated. The velocity of motion of the nucleus as a whole has been established to depend on the key parameters of the problem, namely, supersaturation, radii of the nuclei, and their separation. The force of mutual attraction between nuclei is estimated, and it is shown to be inversely proportional to the fifth power of their separation.
