Abstract

The present paper reports the formation of novel morphologies of intermetallic compounds during the solidification of different Al-Fe-V-Si alloys using cooling rates ranging from I to 20 K s(-1). The influence of cooling rate, composition of the alloy and the addition of Mg and Ni-20%Mg alloy on the morphology of the intermetallic phases, particularly that of Al13Fe4 phase, is reported. Al13Fe4 forms with a ten-armed star shaped morphology with small amount of Si (<1 wt.%) at a cooling rate of approximate to14 K s(-1). A lower cooling rate and higher Si content result in degeneration of the ten-armed stars into other morphologies. The higher the Si content, the higher the cooling rate required to form the ten-armed star-shaped Al13Fe4 phase...
