Abstract

The structure and high-temperature mechanical properties of Fe-30 at. pct Al and Fe-25 at. pct Al alloys with various Zr contents are compared. The scanning electron microscope images in chemical contrast mode (R-BSE) as well as EDS, EBSD, and X-ray diffraction were used to determine the structure and phase composition. The as-cast alloys (both Fe-30Al and Fe-25Al) were observed to be two-phase DO3/B2 + Laves phase λ 1 (Fe,Al)2Zr alloys with typical fine lamellar eutectic areas. During the heat treatment of the Fe-25Al alloys, their structure transformed from a DO3/B2 matrix with fine lamellar eutectic into λ 1 globular particles situated in a DO3/B2 matrix. The same structure of Fe-30Al alloys decomposed into three phases: λ 1 and τ 1 Zr(Fe,Al)12 particles in a DO3/B2 matrix. The hardening in both groups of alloys (Fe-25Al and Fe-30Al) due to the presence of Zr-containing λ 1 and τ 1 phases is compared.
