This project will provide a vacuum induction melting (VIM) system that is important to ongoing research in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at UAB. The VIM system will allow the participating Department faculty to produce liter-sized heats of research alloys. This is particularly important to projects which require the experimetnal verification of computational models describing melting, solidification, and microstructural evolution. The melting system will be used to produce high purity, binary and ternary alloys for experimentation. Research projects include modelling of microstructural evolution during rapid thermal processing, fiber-matrix interface stability in Boride fiber reinforced Titanium-Aluminum intermetallic-composites, Titanium Aluminide-Silicon Carbide diffusion couples.

该项目将提供真空感应熔化（VIM）系统，这对UAB材料科学与工程系正在进行的研究非常重要。VIM系统将允许参与部门的教师生产升大小的研究合金热。这对于需要对描述熔化、凝固和微观结构演变的计算模型进行实验验证的项目尤其重要。该熔炼系统将用于生产用于实验的高纯度二元和三元合金。研究项目包括快速热加工过程中微观结构演变的建模，硼化物纤维增强钛-铝金属间复合材料的纤维-基体界面稳定性，钛铝化物-碳化硅扩散偶联。
