The effects of La-Ce and Ni-Co pairs on the GFA, magnetic properties and hardness of Al-Ni-La alloy were investigated by using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, magnetometer and hardness-tester.

In addition, the measured samples display a diamagnetic behavior at room temperature. The variations of diamagnetic behavior as well as the microhardness of the samples are strongly dependent on the microstructure, i.e., the amounts of the icosahedral structure and precipitates, after the similar element substitution in the Al-Ni-La alloy.展开更多
