Effect of heat treatment on the X-ray diffraction of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals

Abstract
X-ray powder diffraction peaks have been measured for melt-spun and annealed Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals. From the change in width and position of the diffraction peaks it was found that the linear phason strain introduced by melt-quenching is removed by a 1 h isochronal anneal between 873 and 1093 K.
