Abstract: Two pipe blanks of rapidly solidified AlFeVSi alloy were prepared respectively by two kinds of different processings of rapid solidification-cold isostatic compact-hot extrusion and spray deposition-hot extrusion, and their microstructures and properties before and after hot extrusion were investigated comparatively using optical microscope, SEM, TEM and tensile test. The results showed that the pipe blank prepared by the former processing has higher strength and lower plasticity, and exhibits more intensive anisotropy than that of the latter, the main factors affecting the dissimilarity are degree of deformation, thickness of powder surface oxide film and cooling rate of solidification.
