Abstract

Two kinds of process of ordering with phase separation, B2 or DO3 → (A2 + DO3), on annealing at a temperature of 873 K in an alloy of Fe-6 at%Al-9 at%Si were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The decomposition of DO3 phase proceeds by the development of periodic fluctuations along <100> directions in both B2 and DO3 types of degree of order. Newly born DO3 domains take the form of rectangular prism and align along <100> directions. In the transition from B2, on the contrary, there is a marked difference between the morphologies of the fluctuations in the two types of degree of order at the early stage of annealing. The degree of B2 type order fluctuates along <100> directions, while the fluctuation in the degree of DO3 type order does not form the <100> modulated structure sat the early stage of annealing. The morphology after a prolonged annealing is similar to that in the case of DO3 → (A2 + DO3).
