Abstract
In the present investigation a potential aerospace aluminum alloy made from atomized powder was subjected to microstructural investigation. Samples exhibiting varied powder size distribution, due to differences in atomizing conditions employed in powder production, were studied. The alloy having a target composition of Al-8 wt.%Fe-4wt.%Ce was chara cterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractomet ry. The fine powder size distribution was found to be more desirable f rom the mechanical properties point of view due to the retention of me tastable phases.
