ABSTRACT Rapidly solidified ribbons of a variety of niobium-based alloys have been produced by electron beam melting and splat quenching (EBSQ) onto a rotating copper disc. Microstructural analysis of the beneficial effects of rapid solidification can be performed on the as-solidified and heat treated ribbons. Ribbons can be reduced to particulates and consolidated into a fully dense billet using conventional powder metallurgical techniques such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP).
