Abstract
Quasi‐crystalline Al65Cu20Mn15 powder has been produced by mechanical alloying from crystalline elemental powders. The alloying process has been monitored by x‐ray diffraction, and the resulting product has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The quasi‐crystalline phase forms after about 90 h of milling. The crystallization temperature and enthalpy have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The results are compared with data for melt‐spun material.Keywords
