Mechanical behavior of rapidly solidified materials; Proceedings of the Symposium, New York, NY, Feb. 24-28, 1985

Papers are presented on rapid solidification processing methods; testing techniques for mechanical characterization of rapidly solidified (RS) materials; environmental sensitivity characterization of RS materials; and a critical tensile criterion for fracture in an Fe-based amorphous alloy. Topics discussed include the mechanical properties of RS stainless steel; the effects of rapid solidification on Ni alloy properties; the mechanical behavior of RS Ni superalloys; the structure and tensile properties of a RS-hot extruded Al-Li-Mg-Ar alloy; the tensile and microstructural properties of explosively compacted RS Al-Li alloy powders; and the mechanical properties of RS Al-Fe-X and Al-Be alloys. Emphasis is placed on the microstructures and mechanical properties of RS Ti alloys; the age hardening behavior of a RS Ti-Cr-Al alloy; the structure and properties of RS intermetallic compounds; and the mechanical properties and embrittlement of metallic glasses.
