Advanced Aluminum-Lithium Base Alloys Produced by Rapid Solidification from the Melt
Abstract
Three research tasks were supported to varying degrees under this program and contract support. One of them was fairly well advanced on termination of the contract one year after its initiation. This work was continued and has resulted in a paper entitled 'Lithium-Containing 2024 Aluminum Alloys Made from Rapidly Solidified Powders,' by W. Wang and N. J. Grant. The paper was presented at the Second International Conference on Al-Li Alloys held at Monterey, Calif. in April 1983. A second study, entitled 'Structure-Property Relationships of Rapidly Solidified Al-Mg-Li Alloys' by W. Wang and N. J. Grant, was also initiated under this contract, but was far from being completed within the one-year span. Nevertheless, since the research was started under the DARPA (ARO) contract, the very interesting results of the research are summarized in this final report. A third study, which was initially started as an ONR (DARPA) program, was an analytical study which took about four years to complete. Based on the content of this study and its initiation under DARPA support, the program was continued as part of this effort. The study was recently completed under other funding. This study was entitled 'Notched Tensile Properties of Rapidly Solidified and Ingot-Based Aluminum Alloys' by S. Kang and N. J. Grant. The paper was presented at the Rapid Solidification Conference at NBS, held in Dec. 1982.
