We introduce a new phase-field formulation of rapid alloy solidification that quantitatively in- corporates non-equilibrium effects at the solid-liquid interface over a very wide range of interface velocities. Simulations identify a new dynamical instability of dendrite tip growth driven by solute trapping at velocities approaching the absolute stability limit. They also reproduce the formation of the widely observed banded microstructures, revealing how this instability triggers transitions between dendritic and microsegregation-free solidification. Predicted band spacings agree quantita- tively with observations in rapidly solidified Al-Cu thin films.
