| Research Abstract |
In order to obtain informations necessary for exploration of high strength aluminum alloy by means of powder metallurgy, rapidly-solidified structures and decomposition process in Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Ce alloys were investigated. Obtained results are summarised as follows;
1. In an Al-Fe alloy, the solid solubility of iron extends up to 7.3 mass % at a cooling rate about <10^6> K/s. Cell structures was observed in the alloys solidified at a cooling rate about <10^5> K/s. Cell boundaries were composed of aggregates of metastable phase <Al_6Fe> . In the decomposition process of rapidly-solidified Al-7 mass % Fe alloy, following three metastable phases were observed; an angular-shaped metastable phase with diamond cubic structure, a disc-shaped metastable phase and a rod-shaped metastable phase with f.c.c. structure.
2. In Al-4 mass % Fe-1-4 mass % Ce alloys, fine metastable phases coherent with the matrix were formed during rapid solidification. Upon annealing, ternary metastable phase with cubic structure precipitated parallel to<100> of the matrix. At a cooling rate about <10^5> K/s, cell structures were formed in an Al-4 mass % Fe-4 mass % Ce alloy. Fine dispersoids in cell boundaries were identified as <Al_8CeFe_4> equilibrium phase by electron diffraction.
3. Softening was not detected by hardness test of ribons even after holding at 300 ゜C for 1 hr in both Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Ce alloys. It was found that the addition of cerium to Al-Fe alloys is effective to increase thermal stability of this alloy.
