AbstractUsing powder X-ray diffraction, we have studied the transformation of an atomized powder of nominal composition Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 upon annealing at 500°C in air or in vacuum. The initial mixture of icosahedral and B2 cubic phases transforms within 2 hours into a nearly pure icosahedral compound. We observe however that a small amount of residual cubic phase is still present after annealings as long as 65 hours. Furthermore, the initial cubic phase splits in two components, a CsCl-type and a disordered bcc cubic phase. By comparison of the heat treatments in air and in vacuum, we point out that oxygen atoms diffuse into the icosahedral lattice.
