Cover Story: The crystallization process at the initial and subsequent stages of amorphous Al88–RE4–Ni8 melt spun ribbons (RE = Y, Sm, and Ce), with 1 at % Cu replacing Ni or Al, is presented. The stabilities of the Ce alloys are the highest. Cu reduces the nanocrystal size during primary crystallization. Intermetallic phases appearing at higher temperatures include Al3Ni and Al11Ce3 for Ce alloy. A more complex evolution from metastable ternary phases to Al19RE5Ni3 occurs for Y and Sm alloys. Shape changes occur from equiaxial in Ce alloys to elongate for Y and Sm, with longer particles for Sm and, in general, when Cu is present. View this paper
