TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental scientific principles underlying RST are discussed and particular emphasis is given to published studies of composition-processing-microstruc... In this paper, we focus on the application of rapid solidification as a means of improving the behaviour of existing alloy systems and also developing novel alloying compositions.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the widely accepted and used rapid solidification processes is presented in this article, where the intrinsic aspects and types of nucleation and the kinetics governing nucleations and subsequent growth of the crystal during rapid solidization are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation characteristics and fracture behavior of aluminium alloys are examined with specific reference to ageing condition of the alloy, the matrix slip characteristics, and the nature, volume fraction and distribution of strengthening precipitates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of stress triaxiality and initial porosity on void growth and coalescence were studied and the results showed that the effect of the traciaxiality on the void growth rate and the macroscopic stress-strain response was independent of the porosity of the void.

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure and hardness of two titanium alloys were determined and the results are presented and briefly discussed, and the intrinsic influence of alloy composition and secondary processing on microstructural development is presented and the hardness of the two alloys highlighted.
