A member having a separated structure made by an alloy consisting of two
regions having different compositions with each other is formed by
casting a molten alloy into a prescribed shape, or by spray-quenching the
same from a temperature of Tc+10.degree. C. or more, wherein the molten
alloy exhibits two phase separation in a liquid state having a
temperature difference .DELTA.T between the maximum temperature Tc
(.degree. C.) and minimum temperature Td (.degree. C.) in the region of
two phase separation in the liquid state being 10.degree. C. or more, and
the molten alloy has a mean composition with a difference of the volume
fraction between the two liquid phases of 5% by volume or more. The
suitable alloy is a Cu--Fe--X alloy, a Cu--Cr--X alloy, a Cu--Co--X
alloy, a Cu--Bi--X alloy, an Al--Sn--X alloy or an Al--In--X alloy. The
powder obtained by spray-quenching any one of the molten alloys of the
Cu--Bi--X alloy, the Al--Sn--X alloy and the Al--In--X alloy has a
separated structure comprising a surface portion having a solder
composition and a core portion with a composition mainly comprising Cu
and Al being excellent in electrical conductivity and heat conductivity
and is suitable as a solder ball.
