The structure of quasicrystalline Al65Co20Cu15 and Al72Co18Ni10 alloys as well as composites on their base fabricated by furnace impregnation is investigated in this work. The methods of metallography, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry are applied. In the Al65Co20Cu15 alloy quasicrystalline decagonal phase co-exists with crystalline Al4(Co, Cu)3 and Al3(Cu, Co)2 phases, and in the Al72Co18Ni10 alloy—with Al9(Co1xNix)2 and Al9(Ni1xCox)2 phases. Volume fraction of quasicrystalline phase in the alloys ranges from 60 to 65% vol. Using original method of automatized structural analysis, distribution curves of absorption factors are plotted to calculate entropy of the phases. During impregnation of the Al65Co20Cu15 or Al72Co18Ni10 filler granules by brass L62 binder, the molten binder dissolves crystalline phases of the fillers penetrating up to the centre of the granules. At that, quasicrystalline phase of fillers dissolves at much lesser rate. In the structure of the composites reinforced with Al65Co20Cu15 filler, a volume fraction of the quasicrystalline phase exceeds by 15% vol. this phase content in the composites reinforced with Al72Co18Ni10 filler. To explain the difference in the dissolution rates of the filler’s phases during infiltration, a quantity and an average geometric vibration frequency of oscillators in their structure are calculated. The model conceptions of theory of strongly anisotropic crystals are used. The quasicrystalline phase of the fillers is characterized by the largest amount and the lowest vibration frequency of oscillators. The calculations also confirm that the quasicrystalline phase of the Al65Co20Cu15 filler has higher resistance to molten binder influence during impregnation compared with that of the quasicrystalline phase of the Al72Co18Ni10 filler. At the same time, crystalline phases of the Al65Co20Cu15 alloy dissolve with the higher rate, which assures strong adhesion between the filler and the solidified binder. The Al65Co20Cu15 filler is recommended for fabrication of the composites designated for operation under dry friction and effect of acidic solutions.

Key words: quasicrystalline fillers, impregnation, composites, interfaces, dissolution rate, model of strongly anisotropic crystals.
