Role of Thermal Vacancies on Temperature Dependence of Lattice Parameter and Elastic Moduli in B2-type FeAl
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 December 2012
Abstract
Temperature dependence of the lattice parameter and elastic moduli in Fe-40 and -43Al (at.%) was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and the Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Resonance (EMAR) method. The thermal vacancy concentration was estimated from the activation enthalpy and entropy data of vacancy formation previously reported for FeAl. It was found that both the lattice parameter and the elastic moduli of FeAl have a linear relationship with temperature even in the temperature range where thermal vacancy concentration rapidly increases (above 400 °C), thus suggesting that newly generated thermal vacancies at elevated temperature do not make significant influence on the lattice parameter and the elastic properties of B2-type FeAl.
