Abstract

An investigation of the phase transformations experienced by the decagonal and icosahedral phases in two different quaternary alloys is carried out. The transformation in the decagonal phase of Al-Cu-Co-Si alloy is induced by the electron radiation in a transmission electron microscope. However, in the icosahedral phase of Al-Cu-Co-Fe alloy this transformation is induced by annealing. Electron diffraction patterns obtained from both phases suggest that the deformation mechanism involved in these kinds of transition is related to twinning.
