Abstract

A systematic composition dependence study on icosahedral phase (i-phase) formation in the Al–Cu–Fe system has been carried out. Structural evolution during mechanical alloying and on subsequent heat treatment has been investigated by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The i-phase is observed to evolve from the reaction between the Al2Cu and b phases. The influence of the Cu to Fe ratio (RCuFe), Al to transition metal ratio (RAlTM), and the electron to atom ratio (e/a) on the volume fraction of the i-phase has been studied. The analysis of the present results and those published earlier indicates that quasicrystal-forming ability correlates better with the RAlTM and e/a ratios. The volume fraction of the i-phase is maximum when the RAlTM ˜ 2.3 and e/a ratio ˜ 2.0. Formation of the i-phase in Al65Cu25Fe10 by mechanical alloying is reported for the first time.
