These compounds cannot modify the structure. However, particles of the Al3Sc-, Al3Hf-, and Al3Zr-type, modifying the cast structure, were not found in these alloys. The alloy 1590 Er0.16-Hf0.16 with a maximum content of hafnium and erbium at 0.16 % contains Al3Sc-type intermetallic compounds. The presence of zirconium and hafnium is explained by the fact that it can dissolve in the Al3Sc phase up to 35 % and 36 %, respectively. These compounds are primary intermetallic ones, i.e. are formed directly in
