Abstract
We have studied the microstructure and microhardness of rapidly solidified foils of the Sn-58 wt % Bi alloy. Precipitates of tin- and bismuth-based solid solutions have been shown to be evenly distributed over the foils and to have a microcrystalline structure. The tin-based solid solution in the foils has (100) texture, and the grains of the bismuth-based solid solution have (10\(\bar 1\)2) preferential alignment. Room-temperature storage of the foils increases their microhardness by about a factor of 2.
