Which outcome results when anisotropic crystal growth occurs during directional solidification?

💡 Explanation

Macroscopic lattice defects intensify segregation because anisotropic crystal growth during directional solidification causes uneven solute distribution via interfacial instability. Therefore, defects concentrate impurities rather than uniform cooling; planar growth is suppressed rather than stabilized.
