An in situ method to study the behavior of alloys during rapid heating and cooling combining laser heating with synchrotron micro X-ray diffraction and high-speed imaging is presented. Near-spherical Ti–48Al specimens were melted using a laser-based heating system consisting of two diode lasers and subsequently rapidly solidified using a Cu support structure. The Al-rich Ti–48Al forms a fine grained...
