Formation of the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase in conventionally cast Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 and Al55Cu25.5Fe12.5Be7 alloys were investigated. The icosahedral phase (I-phase) forming ability was greatly improved by partial replacement of Al by 7 at.% Be. The as-cast Al55Cu25.5Fe12.5Be7 alloy consisted of dendritic primary I-phase and interdendritic τ-phase, whereas that of an as-cast Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 alloy consisted of various phases such as the β-, I-, and τ-phases, together with a small amount of the λ- and η-phases. The kinetic barrier for transformation into single I-phase by heat treatment was greatly reduced in an Al55Cu25.5Fe12.5Be7 alloy. The I-phase in an Al55Cu25.5Fe12.5Be7 alloy has the same face centered icosahedral structure as that in an Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 alloy and is of high quality without phason strain.

AbstractThe quasicrystalline phase forming ability, solidification structure, thermal stability, and phase relationships of a series of conventionally-cast Al62-xCu25.5Fe12.5Bex (x=0,1,3,5,7) alloys were investigated. Single icosahedral quasicrystalline phase was successfully obtained by partial replacement of Al with Be (7 at.%) in an Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 alloy during crucible cooling. The I-phase in an Al55Cu25.5Fe12.5Be7 alloy has the same face-centered icosahedral structure as that in an Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 alloy, with less phason strain. Hardness of the I-phase increases with x, i.e. from Hv 710 for x=1 to Hv 809 for x=7.

A nanoscale icosahedral quasicrystalline phase was confirmed as a primary precipitation phase in the melt-spun Zr70TM10Pd20 (TM = Fe, Co, or Cu) ternary glassy alloys with a two-stage crystallization process. The onset temperature of the transformation from amorphous to icosahedral phase is 713 K for Fe-, 696 K for Co-, and 680 K for Cu-containing alloys at the heating rate of 0.67 Ks−1. The size of the icosahedral particles is in the range of 20 to 50 nm for the Zr70Cu10Pd20 glassy alloy annealed for 120 s at 720 K. The icosahedral phase has a very fine particle size in a diameter range below 10 nm for the Zr70Fe10Pd20 and Zr70Co10Pd20 alloys. The crystallization reaction after the first exothermic peak results in the transition from the icosahedral to crystalline phases through a sharp exothermic reaction. Thus, the formation of the nanoscale icosahedral phase indicates the possibility that an icosahedral short-range order exists in the present glassy alloys.

Icosahedral Quasicrystalline

A quasicrystalline transition state was found in an Al65Cu20Fe15 alloy after heat treatment at 700 °C and subsequent slow cooling of samples originally containing the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase. The transition state is characterized by the simultaneous presence of two types of quasicrystalline domains. Their structure can be obtained by the introduction of one-dimensional periodicity along one of the fivefold axes of the original icosahedral quasicrystal. The two types of domains differ in their period lengths which are obtained by multiplying a fundamental length of the icosahedral structure by the Fibonacci numbers 5 and 8.

Brittle Cleavage Fracture

The discovery of the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase (i-phase) in as-cast Ti40.83Zr40.83-xScxNi18.34(x = 0~2.0) alloys is described herein. The effect of Sc on the structure and mechanical properties of the bulk quasicrystalline alloys is investigated. The results show that the phase structure of the as-cast alloys are mainly composed of icosahedral phase accompanied by minor C14 Laves phase (L-phase), and the mechanical properties of the bulk quasicrystalline alloys have been examined at room temperature, the compressive fracture strength first increased and then decreased with increasing x from 0.4 to 2.0, and the highest strength is near 1400 MPa when x =1.2, it was 380 MPa higher than the without Sc alloy. The bulk quasicrystalline alloy exhibits the elastic deformation by the compressive test, and the fracture mode was brittle cleavage fracture.

AbstractA relationship between hexagonal phases in the Zn-Mg-RE (RE=rare earth) system and icosahedral quasicrystalline phase is discussed. There are three hexagonal phases in the vicinity of Zn6Mg3RE1 which are related with a lattice parameters by a ratio 3:5:7 but with approximately the same c parameters. A structural model for the phase with medium a lattice parameter is proposed based on the structures of the other two phases recently determined. We also show a preliminary result of X-ray diffraction study of the Zn-Mg-Ho icosahedral phase.

Icosahedral Quasicrystalline

In this investigation the Al64Cu24Fe12 alloy was melted in an induction furnace and solidified under normal casting conditions. The as-cast sample was subject to a heat treatment at 700 oC under argon atmosphere in order to obtain the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase in a monophase region. Subsequently, the icosahedral phase was milled for different times and water added conditions. The pre-alloyed and milled powders were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that the icosahedral phase is sensitive to the reaction between water and aluminum of the quasicrystalline alloy to generate hydrogen. As the milling time and the amount of water are increased, the embrittlement reaction of the alloy is accentuated releasing more hydrogen.
