Abstract
Quasicrystalline Al–Cu–Fe–Cr alloys have been prepared by mechanical activation. The morphology of powder particles has been investigated after thermomechanical processing under various conditions. We have identified the sequence of phase transformations in the quaternary alloys in the stability region of quasicrystalline phases and optimized conditions for obtaining a maximum fraction of a decagonal state in powder materials.
