Amorphous metal alloys produced by rapid solidification are finding             increasing applications in electrical and electronic applications.  The         limitation of the current techniques is the inability to produce bulk           materials.  This research involves a novel method--namely,                      electro-discharge compaction of rapidly solidified powders and the              synthesis of high-temperature micro-composites.  The method involves            the use of an extremely short duration pulse (5-10 micro sceonds), high         voltage (30 KV), and high current density (1kA/mm2) energy to the               powder aggregate to rupture the oxide film on the particles for                 enhanced bonding and retain the unique amorphous structure of the               rapidly solidified powder which otherwise would be degraded by long             exposure to high temperatures, as in HIPing or vacuum hot pressing.
