A method for preparing a large area parallel oriented ten-order
quasicrystal approximate phase micron tube belongs to the field of
metal materials. The invention adopts
vacuum induction melting method to prepare equiatomic ratio Al 20 Si 20 Mn 20 Fe 20 Ga 20 The
alloy ingot is then induction heated and melted in a vacuum single-roll
copper wheel strip-
spinning device to prepare an
alloy strip, and a large area of parallel oriented Al is obtained on the free surface of the strip. 18.8 Si 20.6 Mn 22.7 Fe 26.6 Ga 11.3
Quasicrystal-like microtubes. Furthermore,
nanoindentation measurements revealed that the microtubes possessed an optimal
hardness-Young's modulus combination, reaching 10.9 GPa and 189.3 GPa, respectively, demonstrating superior mechanical properties. The present invention is advantageous in that large-scale, parallel-oriented, decadic
quasicrystal-like microtubes were prepared for the first time. The preparation method is simple, easy, and readily
mass-produced, providing an effective path for the large-scale preparation of
quasicrystal-related tubular materials. The microtubes combine the characteristics of quasicrystals, high-entropy alloys, and micro- and nano-scale materials, and are therefore of significant value in developing their potential applications.
