Microstructures and phases of the hot-pressed Al84Ni7Gd6Co3 alloys. (a) XRD patterns for HP2 and HP0, indicating a large volume fraction of intermetallic compounds. (b) STEM image of HP2 displaying a hybrid nanoscaled structure with NC fcc-Al and nanometric intermetallics. Points 1–3 were analyzed by EDX, and the results are listed in Supplementary Table S1. (c, d) Bright-field TEM of HP2. (e) High-resolution TEM (HRTEM) image of the rectangle area in panel (d), revealing well-bonded interfaces between NC fcc-Al and the intermetallic phases.
