Abstract
Al-Ni-Y alloys are melt spun into a fully amorphous state and then ann ealed to obtain a nanometre-scale dispersion of alpha-Al crystallites in an amorphous matrix. The isothermal kinetics of the crystallization are analysed. The significant hardening effect of nanocrystallization is studied for several alloy compositions. It is attributed mainly to the solute enrichment of the remaining amorphous phase.
