Abstract:
Vacuum heat treatment of mechanically alloyed powders of boron and aluminium leads to the formation of a metastable Al-rich phase, which can be quenched. Its structure, composition and thermal stability are established. With the chemical formula Al 1.28 B the rhombohedral phase is unusually rich in Al. The parameters of the unit cell determined from X-ray powder diffraction are a = 18.3464 (19), c = 8.9241 (9) Å, V = 2601.3 (6) Å 3 , space group R 3 . It is stable on heating to 630°C. It is suggested that this phase is an important intermediate step in the formation of AlB 2 and, eventually, of other borides; its nucleation and thermal stability are explained by high elastic energy hindering the formation of equilibrium phases at low temperatures.
