Although the industrial development of Complex Metallic Alloys (CMAs) and Quasicrystals (QCs) has remained quite limited so far, these materials exhibit interesting and sometimes unexpected properties in terms of technological applications. A few selected examples of the most promising properties and trends for potential applications are presented.
