Microstructural and structural stability of rapidly solidified gold-titanium alloys by Van Heerden, David Peter

“…An investigation has been carried out into the effect of rapid solidification on the microstructure and structural order present in dilute Au-Ti alloys, and the subsequent evolution of these properties on post-solidification heat treatment. Alloys of compositions lwt.% Ti, 2wt.% Ti, 3wt.% Ti and 5wt.% Ti have been rapidly solidified by a technique known as chill block melt spinning (CBMS). …”

Martian meteorites as windows into planetary volcanism: insights from olivine-phyric shergottite meteorites by Peel, Chad

“…In chapter 3, my analysis of early formed olivine megacryst trace element and ultra-trace element compositions in depleted shergottites indicates closed-system crystallisation behaviour, supporting interpretations that these meteorites represent partial melting of a LREE depleted mantle source. …”
