Main studies carried out during the month:

- preparation of an article for the AMT conference: „Microstructure and properties of AlMnFeCu and AlMnFeSi melt spun ribbons strengthened with quasicrystalline particles”
- preparation of an abstract: „Effect of Ti, Zr and Hf addition on microstructure and properties of rapidly solidified Al-Mn-Fe alloy” for the 20th International Symposium on Metastable, Amorphous and Nanostructured Materials (ISMANAM) 2013
- preparation of an abstract for a symposium „Materials Science for Industry” with the title „Quasicrystalline alloys Al-Mn-Fe obtained using rapid quenching – structure and properties”.
- additional training in SEM technique using PHILIPS XL30 X, Oxford Instrument equipment.
- some additional trials to perform thermomechanical analysis on melt spun ribbons (based on ternary composition as well as quaternary alloys with Hf, Zr, Ti and Mo addition).
