Abstract
We report the preparation of the quasicrystalline particle-dispersed Al base composite alloys for the first time. Icosahedral AlCuFe quasicrystalline (i-AlCuFe) particles were homogeneously dispersed in a crystalline Al matrix using a novel process which combined mechanical alloying and hot press techniques. Hardness of the composite alloy increases with increasing volume fraction of the i-AlCuFe particle, i.e., increases from 25 kg/mm2 for pure Al to about 120 kg/mm2 for a 25 vol.% i-AlCuFe particle dispersed alloy.
