The experimental results presentedsuggestthat the cutting life of AI20 rco ated inserts increases with the total coating thickness. On the base of practical examples the application of AIzOrcoated inserts during the steel turning at the high cutting speeds and during the cast iron turning and milling is demonstrated.

DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL OF MICROSTRUCTURE IN PM W BY SYNTHESIS AND REDUCTION OF WOl GELS C Persad, et al, (Ctr.for Mat.Sci and Eng. The Univ. of Texas. Austin, TX. USA). Paper presented at TMS/AIMF Fall Meeting. Indianapolis. October 2-5.1989.
Gels produced fromacidic solutions of metallic W have been investigated as precursor materials for submicron metallic W particles. Temperature and pH control in the gel-producing step leads to the nucleation and controlled growth ofWOl particles down to 50 mm size. Gels of stoichiometric and non-stoichlmetric compositionshavebeen studied. PROBLEMS OF PM·REFRACfORY ALLOYS IN AIRCR1\FTINDUSTRY

Superalloys
Review
In many ways aerospace applications provide the 'ultimate' test for high temperature alloys. As minimal requirements the materials must be capable of being fabricated and possess (1) good creep and environmental resistance at high temperatures and (2) adequate fracture toughness and fatiguestrength. AlthoughCoo. Fe-,and Ni-baso superalloys meet these criteria for existing technology, the desire for higher operating temperatures to improve efficiency means that a new generationof high temperature materials must be developed. Possible systems include metal matrix composites. monolithyic and composite intermetallics as well as refractory alloys. These approaches. including advantages and problems. are examined in this paper.
DETERMINATION OF TEXTURE IN ZIRCALOY USING COMPl.ETE POLE FIGURES S A Wilson (AD Sandvik Steel. Sweden). Scatid.], Me/alI., 18, 1989. 6-12. -Inorderto be ableto measurethe texturein Zircaloy accurately.a method involvingboth back reflection and transmission techniques has been developed. Pole figures and texture parameters were obtained fromthe (0002) and (1010) planes. It was found that the defocusing correction employed increased the accuracy of the results considerably.
