Abstract

The A15 Phase forming V-Ga alloys were processed into ribbons and foils by rapid solidification techniques. Microstructures and phase transformation in these alloys by rapid solidification and succeeding heat treatment were investigated by x-ray diffraction and TEM. It is shown that equilibrium A15 phases can readily be suppressed by rapid quenching in these alloys. A significant grain refinement resulting from the rapid solidification also was observed. Microhardnesses of these alloys as a function of Ga concentration were determined.
