Quasicrystalline materials constitute a new materials group with certain crystalline structural
characteristics, such as the generation of Bragg peaks in the X-ray data and points in the …

The aim of this book is to acquaint the reader with what the authors regard as the most basic
characteristics of quasicrystals--structure, formation and stability, and properties--in …

Composites are gaining increasing popularity nowadays due to their wide range of
applications and flexible design options. Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) have …

Additive manufacturing processes allow freeform fabrication of the physical representation of
a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data model. This area has been …

In the present investigation, attempts were made to study the effect of Al–Cu–Fe (40 vol%)
quasicrystalline (QC) reinforcement on the structure, morphology and phase composition of …

In the present study, aluminum metal matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with Al-Cr-Fe
quasicrystal (AlQC) nanoparticles (3 and 5 wt%) and monolithic Al were produced by the …

Novel lightweight composites consisting of an Al matrix reinforced with short Fe-based
metallic glassy fibers have been fabricated by powder metallurgy. A detailed microstructural …

Abstract In this study, Al–Cu–Fe alloys without and with the addition of Sn and containing a
quasicrystalline phase were spray deposited. The spray-deposited bulk materials were …

Aluminium matrix composites were consolidated from elemental Al powder and atomised Al
65 Cu 20 Fe 15 particles by vacuum hot pressing technique. The spherical Al 65 Cu 20 Fe …

The present investigation develops a next-generation hybrid Al metal matrix composite
using coconut shell ash (CSA) and graphite (Gr) reinforcement. Stir-casting is adapted to …
