Abstract
The crystallization characteristics of icosahedral (Al0.786Mn0214100−xSix were studied for x = 2, 4, and 6 using resistivity measurements, scanning calorimetry, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. We find that the first stage in the crystallization is the formation of the binary AlMn T phase even when the icosahedral phase contains silicon. As-spun ribbons of this composition invariably contain a small amount of f.c.c. aluminium which goes into solution concurrently with the formation of the T phase, producing a dramatic increase in the sample resistance, starting near 670 K. The final crystallization products are β-Al9Mn3Si and either λ-Al4Mn, Al6Mn or α-Al9Mn2Si1.8, depending on the concentration of silicon in the sample.
