Up to now, decagonal quasicrystals have been found in the alloys of whole Al-Pt group metals [1,2]. The present paper is concerned with the TEM study of a hitherto unreported hexagonal phase in rapidly solidified Al-Ir, Al-Pd and Al-Pt alloys.The ribbons of Al5Ir, Al5Pd and Al5Pt were obtained by spun-quenching. Specimens cut from the ribbons were ion thinned and examined in a JEM 100CX electron microscope. In both rapidly solidified Al5Ir and Al5Pd alloys, the decagonal quasicrystal, with rosette or dendritic morphologies can be easily identified by its electron diffraction patterns(EDPs). The EDPs of the decagonal phase for the two alloys are quite similar. However, the existance of decagonal quasicrystal in the Al-Pt alloy has not been verified by our TEM study. It is probably for the reason that the cooling rate is not great enough for the Al5Pt alloy to form the decagonal phase. During the TEM study, a metastable hexagonal phase has been observed in the Al5Ir, Al5Pd and Al5Pt alloys. The lattic parameters calculated from the X-ray powder data of this phase are a=1.229 and c=2.647nm(Al-Pd) and a=1.231 and c=2.623nm(Al-Ir). The composition of this phase was determined by EDS analysis as Al4(Ir, Pd or Pt). It coexists with the decagonal phase in the alloys and transformed to other stable crystalline phases on heating to high temperature. A comparison between the EDPs of the hexagonal and the decagonal phase are shown in Fig.l. Fig. 1(a) is the EDPs of the decagonal phase in various orientions and the EDPs of the hexagonal phase are shown in Fig.1(b), in a similar arrangement as Fig.1(a). It can be clearly seen that the EDPs of the hexagonal phase, especially the distribution of strong spots, are quite similar to their partners of the decagonal quasicrystal in Fig.1(a). All the angles, shown in Fig.l, between two corresponding EDPs are very close to each other. All of these seem strongly to point out that a close structural relationshipexists between these two phases:[110]//d10 [001]//d2(D) //d2 (P)The structure of α-AlFeSi is well known [3] and the 54-atom Mackay icosahedron with double icosahedral shells in the α-AlFeSi structure [4] have been used to model the icosahedral quasicrystal structure. Fig.2(a) and (b) show, respectively, the [110] and [001] projections of the crystal structure of α- AlFeSi, and decagon-pentagons can easily be identified in the former and hexagons in the latter. In addition, the optical transforms of these projections show clearly decagons and hexagons of strong spots, quite similar to those in [110] and [001] EDPs in Fig.1(b). This not only proves the Al(Ir, Pt, Pd) metastable phase being icostructural with the α-AlFeSi phase but also explains the orientation relationship mentioned above.

Cast, sub-rapidly solidified and rapidly solidified Al-5Fe alloy and Al-5Fe-3Y alloy were respectively prepared by vacuum melting, suction casting and melt spinning. The effect of increasing cooling rate and adding rare earth Y alloy on microstructures and phase composition were investigated. The results showed that the acicular Al3Fe phase transferred to spherical phase and dispersed secondary precipitations were also found when 3.0 wt% Y was added in the Al-5Fe alloy. Meanwhile, the microstructures were apparently refined by the increasing of cooling rate. The metastable phase A16Fe and intermetallic compound A110Fe2Y phase have been observed in Al-5Fe alloy and Al-5Fe-3Y alloy, respectively.
