Abstract:Nanometer powders of Al-Fe alloy were prepared by gas evaporation. The formation regularity of the phases in the as-prepared powders and the morphology of the particles were examined. The experimental results show that chemical composition of the master alloy is the key factor which controls the chemical composition of the compound phases in nanometer powders at given evaporating temperature, the compound phases with high Fe mole fraction will form with increasing of Fe content in master alloy. Only Al13Fe4, FeAl2and Al2Fe compound phases form in nanometer powders in present experiment, changing of the pressure of Ar can only alter relative amounts of the compound phases in the powders. Nanometer particles with inhomogeneous tissue were obtained, which is very different from that of pure Al and Fe nanometer particles. When mole fraction of Fe in particles increases, the inhomogeneity is enhanced.
Key words: gas evaporation; vapor condensation; nanometer powders; Al-Fe alloy
