IRRADIATION, MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF AL-ZN-BASED ALLOYSRAPIDLY QUENCHED FROM MELT

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the physical metallurgy and mechanical properties of the melt-spun ordered alloys based on Al- Zn system containing 0 or 0.5% of antimony, tin or silicon. Properties , including the crystal structure, defects, elastic modulus, internal friction and irradiation resistance of the fast quenched ordered alloy s are summarized and discussed with emphasis on their metallurgical va riables in the alloys. The potential development of Al-Zn based melt-s pun alloys as new antifractional materials for bearing applications is also discussed.
