DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ALLOY SHEETS BY STRIP CASTING

摘要

There exists a great need for the development of high performance alloys due to increasing demands for energy conservation and environmental protection. Application of strip casting has shown a strong potential for the improvement of properties of existing alloys and also for the development of novel alloy systems with superior properties. The present paper reviews our Center's activities in the development of high performance alloys by strip casting. Examples include (1) Al alloys, (2) wrought Mg alloys, and (3) bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys.
