ABSTRACT:
An aluminum alloy powder or a green compact thereof is prepared, wherein: (1) the composition formula is Al.sub.100-a-b Fe.sub.a X.sub.b where a and b in atomic % are 4.0.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.6.0, 1.0.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.4.0, and where X is at least one alloy element selected from Y and Mm (mish metal); or (2) the composition formula is Al.sub.100-a-b-c Fe.sub.a Si.sub.b X.sub.c, where a, b and c in atomic % are 3.0.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.6.0, 0.5.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.3.0, and 0.5.ltoreq.c.ltoreq.3.0, and where X is at least one alloy element selected from Ti, Co, Ni, Mn and Cr, and wherein both (1) and (2) include an amorphous phase of at least 1% by volume. The aluminum alloy powder or the green compact thereof is heated at a temperature increasing at a rate of at least 80.degree. C./min. to a predetermined temperature of at least 560.degree. C. and not more than a temperature at which 10% by volume of a liquid phase is contained in the alloy powder or green compact. The aluminum alloy powder or the green compact thereof is powder forged at the predetermined temperature. As a result, an aluminum alloy superior in static strength and dynamic strength can be produced.
