Abstract
The present letter introduces microstructural observations performed on a t hixoformed AZ91 Aluminium alloy after heat treatment. The authors herein re ported the existence of "quasi-crystal" precipitates, with an (Al,Mg)(86)Mn -14 composition. and of Icosahedral cubic tau -phase particles (i.e. Mg-32( Al, Zn)(49)).
