W. Kurz et R. Trivedi, RAPID SOLIDIFICATION PROCESSING AND MICROSTRUCTURE FORMATION, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 179, 1994, pp. 46-51
An overview of rapid solidification is undertaken and various rapid so
lidification processes are grouped into three classes. This leads to a
better understanding of the similarities and differences between the
various methods in terms of solidification parameters. Microstructures
(with specific attention to rapid laser treatment) are analysed and v
arious microstructure selection maps are presented.
