The scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy（SEM/EDS）, differential scanning calorimetric（DSC） and cooling curve tests analysis indicated that a similar eutectic composition（~12 wt.% RE） on the Al-rich region was observed in the Al-La, Al-Ce, Al-Pr and Al-Nd alloys, and the eutectic structure of the alloys was consisted of α-Al and α-Al11RE3 phases by combining with X-ray diffraction（XRD） tests. In addition, the eutectic temperatures determined by DSC and cooling curve tests were very close and around 645 oC.展开更多
