Abstract

To obtain detailed information on the metastable and the equilibrium phases in rapidly solidified Al-(Fe,Ce) alloys, analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern has been carried out. It has been found that the metastable phase formed in Al-Fe alloys including up to 6wt%Fe is $Al_6Fe$ and the equilibrium phase is $Al_3Fe$. Any X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to the equilibrium phase $Al_{13}Fe_4$ has not been observed during aging. In Al-4wt%Fe alloy, which is ribbon shape with thickness less than $70\;{\mu}m$, aged at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1h after rapid solidification, unidentified phase has been found. In Al-4wt%Ce alloy, only X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to the equilibrium phase, $Al_4Ce$ has been observed. It has been found that the metastable phase Formed in Al-Fe-Ce alloys including up to 6wt% Fe and 4wt% Ce is $Al_6Fe$ and the equilibrium phases are $Al_3Fe$ and $Al_{10}CeFe_2$.
