Abstract

Rapid solidification shows great promise for the production of gamma titanium aluminides, and one of the most interesting rapid solidification techniques is melt spinning. In this work, melt-spun Ti-5SAl and Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Ta (atomic percent) were produced; the resulting alloys had uniform microstructure and composition. In addition, the investigation showed the utility of a model developed to describe heat transfer and fluid flow in melt spinning.
