Abstract

Ultrarapid quenching processes have been extensively studied during the past few years. particularly for glasses. In the case of polycrystalline materials, the problem is slightly different. In this case, the microstructures obtained by this process are very different from those obtained by normal cooling and they induce new physical properties.
