This drives a constantly growing demand for the development and production of materials with improved properties. The different crystal structures and limited solubility of Cu and Fe strictly restrict the alloying of Cu with iron and vice versa. However, the immiscibility of Cu and Fe allows for the creation of surfaces with completely different chemical compositions and physical properties within a single product. The addition of Al to a Cu–Fe alloy causes an fcc–bcc phase transformation and a transition to a B2 phase. The alloy is also alloyed with zinc to increase its corrosion resistance and ductility. Using the HEAPS software package, we have shown that the Al_0.25Cu_0.25Zn_0.25Fe_0.25 system does not have Laves phases and the alloy has an fcc lattice. The FactSage 8.0 thermodynamic modeling software package is used for a more detailed study of the phase transformations that occur during solidification in the alloys Al_0.33Cu_0.33Fe_0.33, Al_0.32Cu_0.32Zn_0.03Fe_0.32, Al_0.31Cu_0.31Zn_0.06Fe_0.31, and Al_0.25Cu_0.25Zn_0.25Fe_0.25.

For this purpose, the melt electrolysis parameters are determined using a nickel cathode and cyclic voltammetry, and a series of experiments on the electrolysis of the melt under study are carried out in the galvanostatic mode at a cathode current density of 50 mA/cm² and in the potentiostatic mode at a cathode potential of 0.15 to –0.15 V relative to a silicon quasi-reference electrode. The morphology and element composition of the deposits formed after separation of the electrolyte residues are studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectral analysis. As the cathodic overvoltage increases, the number of nuclei is shown to increase and, therefore, the deposit sizes decrease.
