The microstructure of an oxide dispersion strengthened FeAl (Zr,B) alloy, manufactured by mechanical alloying then extrusion, has been examined by HREM. Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} is dispersed throughout the FeAl matrix as particles, ranging in size from 5 nm upwards, which are effective in pinning the bulk dislocations. Although in the main the observed oxide particles are irregular in morphology, a significant minority of particles exhibit faceted surfaces. In particular, the facets of the Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} particles are observed to coincide with {l_brace}100{r_brace}{sub B2}, {l_brace}110{r_brace}{sub B2} and {l_brace}112{r_brace}{sub B2} planes of the surrounding bulk FeAl matrix. In addition, HREM imaging reveals uncoupled 1/2<111>{sub FeAl} superpartial dislocations lying a few nanometers from some of the FeAl-Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} interfaces.
