Investigation of the Icosahedral Z-Phase in Aluminium Transition Metal Alloys and Rapidly Solidified Al-Alloys
Abstract
The discovery by Shechtman, of five-fold symmetry in rapidly solidified aluminum alloys stimulated world wide interest and activity in the preparation and properties of the materials. Likewise, research on the microstructure of a variety of rapidly solidified aluminum alloys including those containing iron and chromium has been advanced. This report covers the work of two Principal Investigators, Dr. Leo Bendersky and Dr. Dan Shechtman, plus their research collaborators, which has been reported in the scientific literature during the first half of 1986. The five publications reproduced here represent a significant contribution to our understanding of the icosahedral phase and the microstructure of rapidly solidified alloy.
