Changes in the degree of LRO in B2-ordered intermetallic FeAl[Long Range Order]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001653

Changes in the degree of long-range order (LRO) have been investigated in B2-ordered intermetallic Fe-44.8at%Al by electrical resistivity measurement (resistometry). Order variations were observed during isochronal annealing for different states of initial thermal treatment. A complicated behavior of resistivity changes with temperature is observed when starting with a small degree of disorder. Very slight re-ordering is found already at about 470K and is surprisingly followed by a slight disordering above 530K. Only for very long annealing times the expected ordering tendency is observed in this temperature range. Above 710K re-ordering is continued and reversible equilibrium changes of order with temperature are observed above 830K.
