Extract

Scientists have studied the mechanical properties of quasicrystalline materials for quite some time. However the difficulty in obtaining material of reasonable quality hampered systematic investigations. The progress in materials preparation in recent years has triggered new activity in this field. Furthermore the new ternary and multicomponent alloys have demonstrated great promise for use as coatings with good wear resistance and low coefficients of sliding friction. However the physical reasons for these properties and their correlation with the particular structure of quasicrystals are still not understood. As in conventional alloys, experiments under well-defined conditions are required that can serve as a basis for understanding the intrinsic mechanical properties of quasicrystals. Such studies are now increasingly possible after the development of techniques to grow larger single quasicrystals up to a few centimeters in size directly from the melt.

Since the mechanical behavior of quasicrystalline alloys is to a great extent determined by a brittle-to-ductile transition at about 70% of the absolute melting temperature, it is useful to discuss the mechanical properties with reference to appropriately defined low-temperature and high-temperature regions.
