Synthesis of quasi-crystalline phases in the Al–Cu–Fe–Cr system

Аннотация

Phase equilibria in the Al–Cu–Fe system alloyed with 5% Cr were studied. Based on the data of X-ray powder diffraction analysis, electron microscopy, and differential thermal analysis, the effect of temperature on i ⇔ d phase transitions in alloys Al₆₅Cu₂₅Fe₅Cr₅ and Al₇₀Cu₂₀Fe₅Cr₅. In the Al–Cu–Fe–Cr system, multiphase structures were detected; these structures are mixtures of quasi-crystalline and approximant phases, the contents and morphologies of which depend on the composition of the initial mixture and the crystallization rate.
