“…The Al-Ni alloy has good performance such as light weight, high strength, and high temperature stability, and is widely used as a high temperature material [9], corrosion-resistant and anti-oxidation material [10], functional thin film [11,12], phase catalytic material [13,14] and so on. However, the Al-Ni alloy has poor ductility at room temperature, weak high temperature strength and creep resistance [15,16], and some mechanisms on the solid and liquid structures of the Al-Ni alloy are not very clear [17,18], that is, there is an urgent need to solve those problems.…”
