Plastic deformation of Al-Pd-Mn icosahedral quasicrystals has been achieved at room temperature using a high-confining-pressure medium. The deformation microstructure, investigated by transmission electron microscopy, is characterized by long straight bands of dislocations. A detailed analysis of the dislocation configurations indicates that the plastic deformation is controlled by dislocation glide.
