Low temperature deformation mechanisms of icosahedral AlPdMn quasicrystals.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Confining pressure techniques, that superimpose a shear stress on an isostatic component, allowed us to plastically deform AlPdMn specimens at temperatures below the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature obtained using conventional uniaxial deformation tests at usual strain-rates. Microstructural observations associated with these low deformation temperatures are reported. They provide new insights on the elementary deformation mechanisms that control plasticity in this non-periodic structure.
