This volume details the principles underlying rapid solidification processing, material structure and properties, and their applications. This practical resource presents a manifold approach to both amorphous and crystalline rapidly solidified metallic alloys.;Written by over 30 internationally acclaimed specialists in their respective fields, Rapidly Solidified Alloys: surveys nucleation and growth studies in undercooled melts; examines various processes for the production of rapidly solidified alloys; discusses the compaction of amorphous alloys; describes surface remelting treatments for the rapid solidification of surface layers and the resultant improved workpiece properties; covers the closely related topics of structural relaxation, atomic transport and other thermally induced processes; demonstrates microstructure-property relationships in rapidly quenched crystalline alloy systems and their beneficial effects in applications; and elucidates the basic, engineeering, and applications-oriented magnetic properties of amorphous alloys.;Furnishing more than 2300 literature citations for further study of specific subjects, Rapidly Solidified Alloys is intended for materials, mechanical, product, and civil engineers; metallurgists; magneticians; physicists; physical chemists; and graduate students in these disciplines.
Presents a manifold approach to both amorphous and crystalline rapidly solidified metallic alloys as a resource for engineers (materials, mechanical, product, and civil), metallurgists, magneticians, physicists, physical chemists, and graduate students in these disciplines. The organization of the volume progresses logically from processes to structures and properties, and finally to applications, with each of the three sections representing a broad, yet focused diversity of topics. Extensive referencing of each chapter (some 2,300 references in all) facilitates the search for additional information on very specific topics and a materials index is also included.
