Abstract

Aluminum-rich Al-Fe binary alloys up to and including Al3Fe were prepared by melt spinning in order to study the metastable phase structure and its transformation following heat treatment. Transmission electron microscopy and nuclear gamma-ray resonance were utilized in the study. The rapidly solidified structure was found to contain up to three metastable phases. One of the phases, with a composition and a gamma-ray resonance spectrum appropriate for Al6Fe, has either a globular or a cellular morphology upon quenching.
