In directional solidification, the growth directions of cells and dendrites into the melt vary with the pulling velocity from the direction of the thermal gradient to that of a principal crystalline axis. We experimentally determine them in a succinonitrile alloy in the whole available range of variables. Data reveal a non-linear collapse onto a master curve that synthetizes the orientational response of cells and dendrites to the growth conditions.
