Abstract

Alloys of Al75-xFexTi25, where x = 0 to 12 at. % Fe, were fabricated by splat cooling and examined primarily with X-ray diffraction to determine the crystallographic phases present, their composition, volume fraction, lattice parameters, and sublattice occupation. The tetragonal DO22 structure of Al3Ti dissolved 0.8 ± 0.4 at. % Fe, with additional iron partitioned to the Ll2 structure containing 6.2 ± 0.4 at. % Fe, and completed the transformation to the Ll2 structure with the addition of about 6 at. % Fe. The lattice parameters of both phases were independent of iron concentration up to about 6 at. %. At 8 at. % Fe, the iron was found to be predominantly distributed on the nominal aluminum sublattice which also contained about 5 at. % Ti. The Al3 Ti composition was similarly found to contain about 5 at. % Ti on the aluminum sublattice. All compositions, including a single crystal of Al67Fe8 Ti25, were found to be brittle.
