Development of Metastable Processing Paths for High Temperature Alloys

Abstract

The possibility of developing new processing strategies for high temperature intermetallic compounds is being investigated. In particular rapid solidification followed by controlled heat treatment may provide new and unusual microstructures of multiphase materials. This report describes research performed at NIST to develop predictive models for solubility extension and metastable phase formation of intermetallic compounds and research to improve the phase diagram modeling of systems involving ordered phases.
