Ageing of Al-Mn-Cu-Be Alloys for Stimulating Precipitation of Icosahedral Quasicrystals

In this work, the ageing of some Al-Mn-Cu-Be alloys was investigated in the temperature range in which predominantly icosahedral quasicrystalline (IQC) precipitates can form. The alloys were cast into a copper mould, directly aged (T5 heat treatment) between 300 and 440 °C for different times. After...
