Directory of Organizations, Investigators, Sponsors, and Programs in Rapid Solidification Technology

摘要

The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) was asked by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to make an assessment of rapid solidification technology (RST) and its Department of Defense applications. In doing so, it was appropriate to identify the organizations, investigators, sponsors and programs active in the field in the United States and Canada. Emphasis in the IDA assessment is on materials of construction rather than on electrical or magnetic materials. The Directory lists 115 organizations active in the field with addresses, names, and telephone numbers of about 250 investigators, and 21 sponsoring organizations. It includes also a listing of topics being studied by the various organizations.
