Rapid Solidification of AB5 Metal Hydride Forming Alloys

This paper gives a short introduction to the general advantages of rapid solidification, a description of the rapid solidification technique called chill-block melt spinning and some measurements of the actual cooling rates which are achieved by this technique. Finally, there is a presentation of the microstructure that is obtained by chill-block melt spinning of a AB5 metal hydride forming alloy.
