K. Loucif et al., MICROSTRUCTURAL STABILITY OF RAPIDLY QUENCHED AL-FE-MO ALLOYS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 190(1-2), 1995, pp. 187-192
We investigated the microstructural stability of rapidly quenched Al-8
%Fe-2%Mo alloys by measuring the evolution of thermoelectric power dur
ing ageing between 300 degrees C and 500 degrees C, and by transmissio
n electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering observation. Fo
ur stages of evolution were found corresponding to the evolution of th
e solid solution and S-phase into a final incoherent generalized preci
pitation. The addition of Mo does not delay this evolution but gives a
more homogeneous microstructure.
