The methods of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, x-ray phase analysis, and energy dispersive microanalysis are used to study alloys of the Al – Cu – Fe system in the aluminum-rich domain. The range of existence of a quasicrystalline i-phase with composition Al62.5Cu25Fe12.5 is determined.
