Al₁₅Ti₂₀Co₂₀Ni₂₅Fe₂₀ alloy, synthesized in an arc furnace, was characterized by microscopic investigations, X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. Theoretical assumptions indicate a dual-phase crystal structure fcc+bcc. It was shown that dendrites and eutectic are bcc phase, and the interdendritic region is fcc phase.
The effects of iron additions on the structure of (Cu_{0.47}Ti_{0.34}Zr_{0.11}Ni_{0.08})_{100-x}Fe_{x} (x=0, 1.5, 3, 6) glass forming system are presented. The alloys were synthesized by arc melting of high purity elements and melt spun to form: rapidly quenched ribbons. X-ray diffraction studies showed the amorphous structure of the base and Fe-containing alloys, confirmed by the presence of exothermic peaks on differential scanning calorimetry curves. Bulk samples in the form of rods (Φ3×55 mm) were cast using a suction casting unit attached to the arc melter. Structural investigations revealed partial crystallization of the base Cu₄₇Ti₃₄Zr₁₁Ni₈ alloy. Iron additions significantly decreased the glass forming ability of the alloy, leading to primary crystallization of dendrites.
