New type pseudoelasticity in Fe3Al with the D03 structure was examined using the single crystals. The pseudoelasticity occurred due to a reversible motion of 1/4<111> superpartials dragging the nearest-neighbor anti-phase boundaries. The chemical composition and microstructure of Fe3Al alloys strongly influenced the shape recovery ratio and Fe-23.0at%Al alloy with fine domain structure was the most favorable for the appearance of the pseudoelasticity. The recovery ratio of Fe-23.0at%Al exceeded 80 % in the wide temperature range from -50 to 200 oC.
