These phenomena included plastic cleformation and wave propagation, heat transfer and transpiration cooling, powder metallurgy, stable and metastable alloy systems, high-temperature alloys and ceramic materials, magnetic and superconducting phases, and the discovery of metallic glasses by novel quenching from the liquid state. Professor Duwoz was an internationalist in his personal background as well as in his career.

During that exciting clecacle of research in and development of high-temperature rocket materials, Dr. Duwez was also appointed to the Caltech faculty, first as associate professor in 1947 and later, in 1952, as professor of materials science.

They were leaders in the early investigations of titanium and molybdenum alloys for potential high-temperature applications; in the eluciclation of phase relationships exhibited by refractory rare-earth oxides; and in the proliferation of the "gun technique," commonly referred to as "splat quenching," for the rapid quenching of alloys from the liquid state. The latter experimentation led to the retention of extraordinary clegrees of supersaturation in solid]
