Abstract
Already during solidification of the melt, in the aluminum alloy AA 6013 occur precipitates, which are a part of a very complex microstructure and have a significant influence on the recrystallization and fracture behaviour. The chemical composition as well as the high value of microhardness suggest that it is a quasicrystal or crystalline approximant. Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) and selected area diffraction (SAD) investigations in combination with the interpretation of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns led to the conclusion that the precipitates are crystalline approximants. Their chemical composition can bedescribed with the formula Al19Fe4MnSi2 and their crystallographic point group is
Abstract
In der Aluminiumlegierung AA 6013 treten Primärteilchen auf, welche sich bereits bei der Erstarrung der Schmelze bilden. Sowohl ihre chemische Zusammensetzung als auch ihre große Härte legen die Vermutung nahe, dass es sich von der Struktur her dabei um Quasikristalle oder kristalline Approximanten handeln könnte. CBED- und SAD-Untersuchungen in Kombination mit der Interpretation von EBSD-Aufnahmen führten zu der Schlussfolgerung, dass es sich bei diesen Ausscheidungen um einen kristallinenApproximanten handelt. Dessen kristallographische Punktgruppe ist
