Abstract
ABSTRACTStudies of phase formation in rapidly solidified Al-Mn alloys (composition range 18-22 at% Mn) show that an icosahedral phase is replaced by another noncrystallographic phase, a decagonal phase. The decagonal phase is another example of quasicrystal: It has a noncrystallographic point group (10/m or lO/mmm) together with long-range orientational order and onedimensional translational symmetry. The decagonal phase is an intermediate phase between an icosahedral phase and a crystal both from the symmetry and from the solidification condition points of view.
