Abstract

Rapidly solidified Al–12.5 Si–1 Ni ribbons were prepared bymelt spinning. The Si solid solubility was extended to high values asdeduced from X-ray diffraction and TEM. This high solubility of Si wasfound to have significant effects on the various properties of this alloy.High values of electric resistivity was observed which was about four timesthe fully annealed values. Furthermore rapid solidification improved thetensile strength and the toughness of this alloy as compared with itsclassically solidified counter part. The relaxation kinetics was followedby isothermal resistivity measurements. The relaxation follows an equationwhich has the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) form. No metastable phase wasobserved.
