Rapid Cooling Study - Ti-Fe and Ti-Fe-Sn Alloys

[melhem]

Hello mates,

anyone here ever studied or used the method of rapid cooling called "Splat Cooling" ?

I will use this method for the processing of two types of alloys. Ti-Fe and Ti-Fe-Sn. Then I will compare its phases, microstructure, etc and properties like nanohardness.

I would really appreciate if we could exchange some knowledge and ideas about this subject.

Thanks for the attention,

Splat cooling is a form of 'rapid solidification'. Searching on that term, one will find plenty of articles.

Great, thanks a lot Astronuc.

Do u know any article about current applications using splat cooling?

I believe RSP is used for developing refractory alloys and amorphous materials. Wear and corrosion resistant coatings on structures such as turbine blades is one typical application.
