Rapid Solidification Techniques for Obtaining Metallic Glasses

S. P. Pawar, N. S. Patki, P. P. Kulkarni, College Of Engineering Pune, pune, India

This paper reports an attempt to produce metallic glasses of Al alloys by using Chill block casting and Solid mould casting. Al alloys Al- Si, Al-Si-Cu and Al-Si-Cu-Zn were prepared so as to improve chances of formation of metallic glasses. The characterization of all samples was done by image analyzer, microhardness tester and x ray diffractometer.

Keywords: - chill block casting, solid mould casting.
