  abstract     = {{This paper reveals the 3D character of the intermetallic layer at the aluminum–steel interface which pops
up above the original sample surface during annealing. Popping out of the intermetallics was proven using
atomic force microscopy. The phase expands out of the plane due to the exothermic formation of the Al5Fe2
phase and the feasibility of surface diffusion. Milling by a focused ion beam enabled the comparison of the
chemical composition of the surface layer with the bulk interface, showing no difference. The growth direction
is both towards aluminum and steel — the main diffusion flux is from aluminum towards steel, and the new
intermetallic phase emerges at the steel side. The shortage of Al atoms causes a shift of the intermetallic as a
whole towards aluminum.}},

  abstract     = {{Al-Li-based alloys are an attractive material for aircraft and aerospace applications. Preparation of these alloys by twin-roll casting (TRC), which combines rapid metal solidification and subsequent plastic reduction in a single processing step, could improve the properties of the alloys compared to materials prepared by conventional direct-chill casting. A commonly used approach for identifying primary phases is a chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). More accurate results can be achieved by combining the method with diffraction analysis. This process can be considerably simplified in microscopes equipped with automated crystal orientation and phase mapping (ACOM-TEM). Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Zr alloy was prepared by twin-roll casting. A combination of TEM and STEM images with chemical analysis by EDS and ACOM-TEM was used to obtain complex information about phases of boundary primary particles. The efficiency of the individual methods for the phase identification in TRC Al-Li-based alloys is discussed.}},
