Two types of aluminum–titanium–iron–vanadium ( Al–Ti–Fe–V ) quarternary intermetallic compounds have been prepared by arc melting under argon atmosphere. Their compositions were nominally Al66Ti25Fe6V3 and Al66Ti25Fe3V6. These alloys are based on the iron–modified titanium trialuminide with L12 cubic structure. Vanadium addition up to about 6 mol% did not destroy the cubic symmetry, and L12 solid solution compounds were produced in these two Al–Ti–Fe–V quarternary alloys. Microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated. It has been demonstrated that vanadium addition to iron–modified L12 titanium trialuminides can enhance their strength.
