TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the quasicrystalline phase forms across an unusually broad composition range in the Al-Cu-Fe-Cr system, and phases with polytetrahedral symmetry exhibit higher nucleation rates but lower growth rates as compared to other phases with a lower degree of polytetic order.

Tribological properties of quasicrystalline coatings
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of porosity, hardness, and thickness on the friction resistance of quasicrystalline coatings was investigated. And the authors found that the damage of the coatings is essentially brittle though some ductile behavior is observed.
