Popis: The influence of rare-earth elements on the microstructural features of rapidly solidified Al93.3-xFe4.3V0.7Si1.7Mmx(x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 6.0) alloy was systematically studied by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Experimental results show that there are different type of phase transformation depending on mischmetal (Mm) concentration. For Al87.3Fe4.3V0.7Si1.7Mm6.0 metallic glass, a shoulder was observed on the high-angle side of the main peak in the X-ray diffraction patterns due to quenched-in aluminium nuclei and a prepeak resulting from Mm–Mm pairs. By means of particle extraction analysis, it has been proved that the α-Al13(Fe, V)3Si phase existing in as-cast Al–Fe–V–Si alloy is wholly or partly inhibited for Al93.3-xFe4.3V0.7Si1.7Mmx (x=0.5, 1.0, 3.0) crystalline alloys. In addition, a new phenomenon has been reported that the lattice parameter of as-quenched Al–Fe–V–Si–Mm alloys decrease with increasing Mm content; the "cell lessening effect". This effect is presumably due to the results of composite interactions between rare-earth elements and alloy elements.
