Abstract
Given are the results of investigation of structure, phase composition and technological properties of powders of an Al-Cu-Fe system alloy produced by different atomisation methods (argon, high-pressure water, compressed air), as well as by ingot crushing. Behaviour of the powders in heating is studied under conditions of differential thermal analysis.
Keywords: thermal spraying, coatings, quasi-crystalline phase, Al-Cu-Fe system alloy, powders, production methods, structure, properties
