Abstract. The influence of heavy ions (zinc, iron) implantation on the structure of two rapidly solidified aluminium alloys — Al-1 wt.% Cu and Al-1 wt.% Zn was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray analysis and magnetic thermoanalysis. All implantations were carried out with 60 keV ions at doses ranging from 1 × 1017 to 1 × 1018 cm-2. Bombardment with Zn ions endamages mainly the θ-phase precipitate in Al-4 wt.% Cu alloy. Amassing of implanted Fe ions is observed in the near-to-surface region in the two examined alloys and an amorphous layer weakly transparent for the electron beam forms at doses greater than 8 × 1017 cm-2.
