Abstract

The attributes and requirements for rapid solidification (RS) are discussed and related to the characteristics of the titanium system. The extreme reactivity of liquid titanium requires the development of RS production methods tailored to this system. Compaction and processing techniques are presented followed by a discussion of the various alloy classes which have been produced by the RS approach: conventional alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V, rare earths, metalloids, eutectoid formers, beta alloys, amorphous materials, high aluminum alloys, aluminides, and other minor classes. Finally some thoughts on the future of this technology are presented.
