Abstract
With an example of Al–Ni–Co systems of two different compositions, the possibility of obtaining stable decagonal quasicrystals by the method self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis is demonstrated. The burning rate and temperature are determined. Results of an electron‐microscopic and x‐ray diffraction study of the quasicrystals are reported.
