The rapidly solidified (RS) Al-Cr-Zr alloy, possessing excellent strength, ductility and thermal stability in elevated temperatures has received considerable attention in the past decade. The age-hardenable Al-Cr-Zr alloys derive their elevated temperature strength and thermal stability from homogeneous precipitation of metastable L1[sub 2]-Al[sub 3]Zr and chromium retained in solid solution. In the present work, titanium was added to Al-Cr-Zr alloy to form a quaternary system prepared by rapid solidification. The microstructure of the RS ribbon was studied with particular interest in several L1[sub 2] phases present in this alloy. The coarsening kinetics of the L1[sub 2] dispersoids on aging at 350 C were also presented.
