(Alloy phase stability and intermetallic research): Foreign trip report, June 12--July 11, 1987
I participated in the NATO Advanced Study Institute on ''Alloy Phase Stability'' sponsored by NATO, DOE and the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Three invited lectures on ''Phase Stability and Alloy Design of Ordered Intermetallic Alloys'' were given which summarized current effects on alloy design of ductile ordered intermetallics. The need of theoretical calculations to predict the structural stability in intermetallic phases was also stressed. Extensive discussions with participants on physical metallurgy and mechanical behavior of ordered intermetallics were held. After the NATO Advanced Study, I visited University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; Office of National d'Etudes et de Researches Aerospatiales (ONERA), France; Oxford University, England; and Imperial College, England. I gave a seminar on recent development of ordered intermetallics for high-temperature structural use at ONERA, the Institute of which is very active in both basic research and alloy development of Ni/sub 3/Al, Ti/sub 3/Al, and TiAl/sub 3/ aluminides for aerospace applications. Discussions and interactions with European scientists provided us with information useful to our current work on nickel and titanium aluminides and helpful for planning our future research on ordered intermetallics.
