Synthesis of an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase in the Al-Cu-Fe system via mechanical activation

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

A quasicrystalline compound of composition Al64Cu24Fe12 has been prepared through mechanical activation. We have studied the morphology of powder particles after heat treatment under various conditions, identified the sequence of phase transformations in Al-Cu-Fe alloys in the stability region of the ico-phase, and optimized conditions for the preparation of powders containing the maximum possible percentage of the quasicrystalline phase.
