Structure and phase transformation in HF melted Al–Fe–Ti alloys

We have examined the solidification structure of the aluminium-iron-titanium system over a wide range of iron content. With xray powder diffraction and quantitative microstructure analysis we have characterized alloys microstructure and identified second phase crystallographic structure. The hardness of the alloys was also determined. The solidification structure was modified by the addition of titanium in the Al1-xFexTi1.17 alloy in the range of 0 to 1.17% Ti.
