Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Bulk samples of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals with excellent mechanical and tribological properties were prepared by high-pressure compaction followed by pressureless sintering. Cold pressing at 8–9 GPa was shown to cause severe plastic deformation of the Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals.
