ABSTRACT

Structure The main structural special features of the rapidly quenched crystalline materials formed by melt quenching are as follows [1-3]: reduction of the number of concentration heterogeneities; formation of very fine grains (more disperse structure); formation of a highly developed subgrain structure; a large increase of the solubility limit; formation of supersaturated solid solutions and new metastable phases; the non-equilibrium state of the interphase and intergranular boundaries; the possibility of formation of a high concentration of vacancies and defects formed during their coalescence.
