Melt spinning of crystalline alloys

This note describes the results of an investigation into the effect of melt spinning process parameters on the ribbon dimensions of two other materials, namely Pb-Sn eutectic and Al containing small quantities of Fe and Mn. The main objective was to determine whether the conclusions of Liebermann and Graham and Kavesh can be applied over a wide range of materials. Thus, Pb-Sn and Al-(Fe, Mn) were chosen because they have very different melting points from Fe sub(4) sub(0)Ni sub(4) sub(0)B sub(20), and because they solidify in a crystalline rather than amorphous form.
