X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments were carried out to study the structure of rapidly solidified as‐cast and annealed Al 55 Cu 35 V 10 alloy. The as‐cast Al 55 Cu 35 V 10 alloy shows the presence of a new f.c.c. τ2 phase (a=0.58nm) along with a b.c.c. (a = 0.89 nm) phase which after subsequent annealing transforms into single f.c.c. phase (a = 0.58 nm). In this paper, it is also reported that these phases are crystalline approximants to an icosahedral phase on the basis of e/a (valence electron per atom) constant line.
