Abstract

ABSTRACT A quasicrystalline approximate monoclinic phase η-Al5(Mn,Cr) with a plate-like or rod-like morphology in AA5083 aluminium alloy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Several types of orientation relationships (ORs) between the η-Al5(Mn,Cr) phase and the α-Al matrix were observed and these ORs could be correlated with a rotation operation around the axis with an angle that is an integer times 18.5°. These multiple ORs were interpreted by utilizing an invariant deformation element model – a simplified version of three-dimensional invariant line strain analysis.
