Abstract
In situ annealing experiments in the transmission electron microscope have been used to investigate the thermal stability and precipitation behaviour of non-equilibrium phases in vapour-quenched Al-Ni, Al-Cu and Al-Fe alloys prepared by co-sputtering. The non-equilibrium phases exhibit surprisingly high thermal stability and the general nature of precipitation is different from that in liquid-quenched or conventional alloys. These phenomena are caused by the very small as-quenched grain size.
