The effects of isothermal deformation and annealing on the microstructure of nickel-aluminum-bronze propeller material

This thesis is a study of annealing and isothermal deformation characteristics of cast Nickel-Aluminum Bronze (NAB) in relation to Friction Stir Processing (FSP) of this material. Cast NAB is widely utilized by the U.S. Navy in the production of propellers for surface vessel and submarines. FSP i...
