The influence of Cr additions on the positive temperature dependence of the flow stress and on the antiphase boundary (APB) energies of Fe{sub 3}Al was investigated. Single crystals of binary Fe-28 at.% Al and ternary Fe-28 at.% Al-6 At.% Cr were deformed in uniaxial compression between room temperature and 1,273 K. The dislocation arrangement and the dissociation of superdislocations were studied by transmission electron microscopy using the weak-beam technique. The operative slip systems are discussed on the basis of direct measurements of the APB energies. Three types of fault energies of superdislocations were analyzed as a function of temperature (up to 1,003 K) and chromium concentration: the nearest-neighbor APB energy in the cross-slip plane. A procedure for calculating APB energies from effective pair potentials is given. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
