Polycrystalline Al-Cu ribbons were produced by planar flow casting(PFC). Solidification behavior and microstructual changes of the ribbons have been investigated as a function of ribbon thickness and processing parameters. The solidification front velocity, V varies within the ribbon, decreasing with increasing the distance, S from the wheel-contact surface, as $V=17.6S^{-1}$. In Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy, rapid decrease in solidification velocity toward the free surface causes a change in solidification morphology from planar to cellular, and finally, to dendritic. The length and inclination of columnar grains solidified with planar front were related to the wheel velocity. The transition from particulate degenerate eutectic structure to regular lamellar eutectic structure was observed to be caused by a difference of the relative growth velocites of ${\alpha}-Al$ and ${\theta}$ during solidification in the Al-Cu eutectic alloy.

4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chlorobenzenamine) (MOCA)-free fast curing polyurethanes were prepared. In this study, the processibility of a fast curing polyurethane system was characterized by assessing the pot life. The obtained pot life of the polyurethane was 6-8 s, indicating that this prepolymer-curative system is appropriate for ribbon flow casting. The influence of the NCO index on the viscosity and mechanical properties was evaluated. The viscosity, tensile strength, tear strength, and hardness of the as-prepared polyurethanes showed an increasing trend, with an increase in the NCO index, whereas the elongation at break increased initially and then decreased with an increase in the NCO index. The gel fraction and crosslink density showed a direct correlation with the NCO index, which substantiated the improved mechanical properties at the higher NCO index. The coefficients of friction and abrasion deteriorated with an increase in the NCO index.

$Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ (at. %) amorphous alloy ribbons have been produced by rapidly solidification process and consolidated by the conventional powder metallurgy method. The grains with ∼90 nm were obtained in the Al85Ni10Y5 alloy extrudates by hot-pressing followed by hot-extusion. To investigate the effect of heat treatment on microstructural change of the extrudates, heat treatment was carried out from 200℃ to 400℃ at the step of 50℃. In addition, mechanical properties of the extrudates were analysed from torsion test at the temperature range or 400∼500℃ under a strain rates of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0/sec. The extrudates showed a flow stress of ∼190 MPa and low elongation of ∼150% at 400℃, contributing to the enhancement of ductility and hardness for extrudates. Also, grain boundary sliding was occurred in the $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy during hot deformation.
