The Effect of Nb Addition on the Microstructure and the High-Temperature Strength of Fe3Al Aluminide

The microstructural and high-temperature mechanical properties of Fe–26Al– x Nb ( x  = 3 and 5 at. pct) are compared. The alloys were investigated “as cast” and after hot rolling at 1473 K (1200 °C). Scanning electron microscopes equipped with EDS and EBSD were used for the microstructure and phase...

Zusammenfassung:The microstructural and high-temperature mechanical properties of Fe–26Al– x Nb ( x  = 3 and 5 at. pct) are compared. The alloys were investigated “as cast” and after hot rolling at 1473 K (1200 °C). Scanning electron microscopes equipped with EDS and EBSD were used for the microstructure and phase identification. The addition of 3 at. pct of Nb into the Fe 3 Al matrix leads to the formation of C14 λ—Laves phase (Fe,Al) 2 Nb (LP) particles spread in the Fe 3 Al matrix, while an eutectic with thin lamellae of LP C14 λ—Laves phase (Fe,Al) 2 Nb and matrix is also formed in the iron aluminide with 5 at. pct of Nb. The presence of incoherent precipitates is connected with the enhancement of the high-temperature strength and creep resistance.
