a b s t r a c t The rapidly solidified AlCr4.7Fe1.1Si0.3 (at.%) alloy produced at large scale by direct extrusion of gas atomised powders was investigated. Hot-extrusion yielded sound compacts and did not create any major structural changes compared to the as-atomised state. Microstructural characterisation of the as-extruded material revealed submicron scale -Al grains with an embedded Al7Cr crystalline phase and traces of a nano-scale quasicrystalline Al84.6Cr15.4 phase. The long-term thermal stability up to 300 ◦C of compacts was proven. The thermal stability of compacts was accompanied by high mechanical prop- erties, especially high strength and Young's modulus, and creep performance up to 300 ◦C. The same material was prepared by laboratory scale extrusion of cryo-chopped melt-spun ribbons as a reference material. No major differences in the structure or properties of the industrially prepared material were observed compared to the reference material.
