Abstract

The mechanical properties of B2 structural FeAl alloys, prepared by hot rolling, at elevated temperatures have been measured by tensile tests. The alloys of Fe-36.5at.%A1, Fe-36.5at.%A1-5at.%Cr and Fe-36.5at.%Al-2at.%Ti were taken for tensile tests at a temperature range from room temperature to 1000°C. The fracture surfaces of these alloys were observed by SEM. The results showed that elongations of these alloys increased with increasing temperature when the testing temperatures were above 600°C. All the maximum elongations of these alloys appeared at 1000°C and those of Fe-36.5A1, Fe-36.5Al-5Cr, and Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloys were 120%, 183% and 208% respectively. Fracture surfaces showed that failure of these alloys was by a combination of intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage below 700°C. but showed a ductile fracture above 700°C. The ductility and strength of ternary alloys were higher than that of binary FeAl alloy at elevated temperatures, especially at high temperature. The <111> dislocations and helices have been observed in Fe-36.5A1 alloy by TEM. The large elongation of FeAl alloy at high temperature resulted from <111> dislocations slipping and <111> helices climbing.
