Abstract

Rapidly quenched alloys differ from those that are conventionally solidified in the degree of supersaturation, the microstructure and the grain size. The quenching rate can thus be used to modify the mechanical properties. A fine grain size increases the hardness and ductility. The precipitation behaviour is modified by the high density of heterogeneous nuclei or high density of quenched in defects in that the rate of precipitation is increased. Discontinuous precipitation should make a significant contribution to the increase in strength as a result of the fine grain size.
