Al-based metal matrix composites reinforced with Al62.5Cu25Fe12.5 quasicrystalline particles have been produced by powder metallurgy. Composites with different volume fractions of reinforcement have been consolidated into highly dense bulk specimens by hot extrusion and the resulting effects on mechanical properties and microstructure have been examined in detail. Considerable increase in compressive strength and Young modulus has been observed in the composites samples as compared to pure Aluminum. Finally, the elastoplastic deformation of the composites containing different volume fractions of quasicrystalline particles have been modeled by using the self-consistent effective medium approach.
