Abstract
A study was made of the intensity of scattering of monochromatic X-rays at small angles from Al-3.6 at. % Ni and Al-0.26 at. % Sn solid solutions, in order to determine if the solutes are really dispersed. Electron-microscopic examinations were also carried out. Both alloys were obtained by rapid quenching from the melt in order to obtain the optimum dissolution. However, perfectly homogeneous solid solutions were not obtained, but agglomerations of solute atoms were detected. The evolution of clusters during annealing was examined. Their influence on microhardness and microstrain properties is discussed.
