description Abstract The role of transition metals (TMs) addition on the formation and crystallization of amorphous Al85TMs10Y5 alloys was described using in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The structural results were compared with differential scanning calorimetry and dynamical mechanical analysis to obtain detailed information about the nucleation and growth of crystalline phases. The performed analysis confirmed that Fe and Cu addition drastically changes the crystallization temperature and the phase composition of the fully crystallized alloys. While for Al85Ni10Y5 alloy, the second crystallization step is related to the formation of Al19Ni5Y3 phase, for Al85(Ni, Fe)10Y5 and Al85(Ni, Fe, Cu)10Y5 alloys crystallization of Al15Fe9Y2 phase was observed. Interestingly, the performed analysis showed that forming a homogenous amorphous phase is not necessary to obtain the best corrosion resistance. It was noted that the precipitation of the YCr2Al20 phase in the Cu-rich amorphous matrix should be a much more interesting approach.
