Abstract

The microstructures found in pulse melted metals are reviewed. Epitaxial resolidification and the defects found in pure metals are discussed. Pulse melted alloys are then examined in order of increasing complexity. First, single phase alloys which solidify into metastable solid solutions are discussed. For higher concentrations and liquid-insoluble species, phase separation can occur, and the requirements for such separation are identified. If precipitation does not reduce the impurity concentration of the liquid, the liquid may be quenched to an amorphous solid. Comparisons of ion-implantation and pulse-melt produced amorphous alloys are given.
