Through an X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis investigation of melt spun Al – transition metal (Al–TM) alloys, we report the formation of a highly stable and well-ordered pure icosahedral (i) phase in Al80TMl20−xTM2x(TM1 = V, Cr; TM2 = Fe, Co). The superior i-phase formation over that in the binary Al–TM alloys is interpreted in terms of the distribution of TM sites known to exist in this phase. A comparison of the i-phase formation ranges indicates the presence of two distinct classes of TM sites and a strong interaction between adjacent TM sites.

The structure and thermal stability of rapidly solidified Al-Cr-Si, Al-Mn-Si, Al-Fe-Si, Al-Co-Si, and Al-Ni-Si alloys have been investigated using x-ray diffraction and thermal analysis measurements. Each series of alloys shows a region of stoichiometry that yields icosahedral symmetry and a region that yields an amorphous phase. Thermal and structural properties of these alloys are reported as a function of stoichiometry and quench rate.

Metastable Al86Cr14, Al86Mn14, and Al86Fe14 were prepared by rapid quenching from the melt at a rate of approximately 2 × 106 K/s. The X-ray measurements of all three alloys show similar non-Bravais structures. Broadened diffraction peaks for the Al–Fe alloy suggest a crystallite size of about 60 Å. Thermal-analysis measurements show that all of the alloys transform into conventional crystal structures at approximately 670. The crystalline phases for the three alloys are Al11Cr2 + Al, Al6Mn + Al, and Al6Fe + Al. At approximately 800 K, Al–Fe undergoes the further transition Al6Fe → Al3Fe + Al.

The effect of calcination temperature on the structural properties and phase formation of synthesized CaO-Al2O3 nanopowder was investigated and discussed. The calcination products were identified by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and the crystalline phase formation was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained results showed that the crystallization started at 460 °C. Finally, the microstructures of the nanoparticles were observed by scanning (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopes. The investigation showed that an increase in the calcination temperature led to the appreciable increase in the crystallite size and the crystallinity of the final product. The obtained data confirmed that the prepared materials were mayenite with different surface area in the range of 71.18 m2/g to 10.34 m2/g after annealing in the temperature range of 470 °C to 960 °C.
