Abstract: With an example of Al–Ni–Co systems of two different compositions, the possibility of obtaining stable decagonal quasicrystals by the method self-propagating high-temperature synthesis is demonstrated. The burning rate and temperature are determined. Results of an electron-microscopic and x-ray diffraction study of the quasicrystals are reported.

Keywords: SHS, quasicrystals, electron microscopy.
