Abstract: Therecent developments in elevated temperature ( ET) aluminum alloys prepared by therapidsolidification / powder metallurgy ( RS P/ M) process were reviewed briefly. TheRS P/ METaluminum alloyscan beclassified as(a) the aluminum transition metaltype, such as Al Fe, Al Cr, Al Ti, Al Zrsystem alloys,etc.,and (b) thealuminum rareearth elementtype,such as Al Y, Al Nd system alloys,etc. Among them ,the Al Fe and Al Ti system alloysarethe most attractive, which possessthe potentialto replacethetitanium alloy partson aircraft,engines,etc.,fortheuseattemperaturesrangingfrom 200 315℃. Theproblemsin applicationsfor RS P/ M ETaluminum alloys werealso discussed .
