The transition of alpha-

High undercooling up to 550\un{K} (0.39 T_{\ab{E}}) was achieved in eutectic \chem{Ni_{78.6}Si_{21.4}} melt using glass fluxing combined with the cyclic superheating. According to the microstructure evolution with the initial undercooling, surprisingly, a transition from non-faceted to faceted phase occurs for the as-solidified morphology of the alpha-\chem{Ni} phase at the undercooling of 390\un{K}. On the basis of the entropy of fusion criterion and the interface kinetics, this interesting morphology transition at high undercooling is analyzed
