Mechanical Properties of Quasicrystals

  • Chapter
Quasicrystals

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 55))

Summary

Quasicrystals show mechanical properties which distinctly differ from those of crystals, particularly of metals. The plasticity of these materials shows a brittle-to-ductile transition at very high temperatures and a lack of work hardening. A review of the experimental work, mainly performed on icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn will be presented in this chapter. This includes results of macroscopic deformation experiments as well as microstructural characterizations of deformed samples in a transmission electron microscope. The interpretation of the results is presented in terms of a cluster-friction model, which assumes the Mackay-type clusters as rate controlling obstacles for moving dislocations.
