Book excerpt: The elements of rapid solidification processing (RSP) are highlighted from the standpoints of (a) the fundamentals involved, (b) the prospects for new structure/property relationships, and (c) the interplay between materials processing and the wider field of materials science and engineering. Prototype methods of rapid solidification and consolidation are briefly described. Particular attention is then given to various solidification modes and resulting morphologies as a function of cooling rate from the molten state. These modes span the range of planar, cellular, dendritic, and segregationless (microcrystalline), solidification, the latter being achieved by critical or hypercritical undercooling. The need for careful characterization of RSP microstructures is emphasized, and important scientific challenges for advancing the field of RSP are stressed.
