A TEM STUDY OF ICOSAHEDRAL AND NEAR ICOSAHEDRAL PHASES IN 8090 ALLOY

Abstract
An icosahedral phase (i-phase) and a crystalline tetragonal phase (c-phase), which are formed during annealing of 8090 alloy, exhibit interesting properties : both phases obey definite orientation relationships with Al matrix. Moreover, as shown by a systematic study of c-phase electron diffraction patterns, the motif of this phase appears to be near icosahedral. The c-phase can thus be considered as an approximate structure of the icosahedral phase
