Researches on Alloys Rapidly Quenched from the Melt

Abstract

The original research proposal incorporated five principal topics: (a) The martensitic transformation in rapidly quenched samples (morphology, crystallography, mechanical properties); (b) Investigation on metallic glasses (density, TEM, crystallization); (c) Transformations in and strength of non- ferrous metastable alloys (age-hardening, grain-size effects); (d) Rapidly quenched tool steels (hardening, TEM); and (e) Diffusion in metallic glasses. We have made significant advances in all of these fields and subfields (except for age-hardening in rapidly quenched alloys), and, under heading (b), went well beyond our original brief in a detailed study of thermal relaxation in glasses.
