In this work we present our results on three aluminum rich alloys processed by atomization: AlFeNd, AlFeCrTi, and Al Ni, for structural and functional applications. Amorphous and a nanocomposite microstructure, formed by nanocrystals of α-Al embedded in a remaining amorphous matrix, are obtained in the atomized AlFeNd powder particles. Bars produced by extrusion of this powder present yield strength above 700 MPa. Atomized AlFeCrTi powder particles contain a high proportion of quasicrystalline precipitates, stable up to 500 °C. At 300 °C, AlFeCrTi extruded bars present ultimate tensile strength as high as 280 MPa. Raney alloy, Al Ni, is of high interest as a catalyst. When it is atomized, the particles present a fine dendrite microstructure, which is very suitable for catalyst reactions once the Al rich phases have been leached away.
