Similar to my colleagues between 3rd and 4th of December I participated in Joint PhD Seminar organized by ENano young researcher group from Institute for Materials Science of the TU Dresden and Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The meeting took place in Radeburg, Germany. During this seminar all young scientists gave presentation about their research field and topics of carried studies. On the first day I had chance to present my results by giving presentation titled: ”Quasicrystalline Al-Mn-Fe based alloys prepared by rapid solidification - structure and properties”. During the next two days, I participated in Nano-scale Materials and Advanced Characterization Techniques course organized by Dresden Fraunhofer Cluster Nanoanalysis.
In the second part of the month I was investigating new melt spun ribbons using SEM. This studies revealed presence of unmelted particles of Al3Nb phase in ribbons with Nb addition (in both prepared series). Additionally thermal stability of all new ribbons was examined using DSC measurements.
