Abstract
A bulk sample of Al–Fe–Cr–Ti alloy with adequate composition to form quasicrystalline phases has been surface remelted, using laser processing techniques, to produce a quasicrystalline surface coating. After the laser treatment, the samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and scanning/transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate the feasibility of producing low-density coatings containing quasicrystalline phases by laser remelting on a bulk sample of an aluminum-based alloy.
