Abstract

The 600 °C isothermal section of the Al-Zn-Ce-Fe quaternary system with Al being fixed at 75 at.% has been studied experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray powder diffraction. Four four-phase regions have been identified in this section, namely, τ2+Liq.+α-Al+FeAl3, τ2+Ψ+α-Al+FeAl3, τ2+Ψ+α-Al+αAl11Ce3, τ2+Ψ+αAl11Ce3+αAl3Ce. One Al-Ce-Fe ternary phase Ψ (CeFe2Al10) and another Al-Zn-Ce ternary phase τ2 (Al2Zn2Ce) has been found in this section but no quaternary compound has been found.
