Abstract

Aluminium-iron-based alloys have been prepared in bulk form from flakes that were splat-cast from the liquid. A detailed study has been made of the binary Al-8 wt % Fe alloy and the influence of several ternary additions is discussed. Mechanical properties of these materials are described and it is shown that the refinement in microstructure resulting from the extremely rapid cooling rates employed gives rise to improved mechanical behaviour, particularly in the temperature range 300 to 620 K.
