Summary:In situ devitrification and consolidation of gas atomized Al 87 Ni 8 La 5 glassy powders into highly dense bulk specimens was carried out by spark plasma sintering. Room temperature compression tests of the consolidated bulk material reveal remarkable mechanical properties, namely, high compression strength of 930 MPa combined with plastic strain exceeding 25%. These findings demonstrate that the combined devitrification and consolidation of glassy precursors by spark plasma sintering is a suitable method for the production of Al-based materials characterized by high strength and considerable plastic deformation.
