Abstract

The structure and thermal stability of rapidly solidified Al-Cr-Si, Al-Mn-Si, Al-Fe-Si, Al-Co-Si, and Al-Ni-Si alloys have been investigated using x-ray diffraction and thermal analysis measurements. Each series of alloys shows a region of stoichiometry that yields icosahedral symmetry and a region that yields an amorphous phase. Thermal and structural properties of these alloys are reported as a function of stoichiometry and quench rate.
