Title: Influence of strain rate and temperature on the mechanical behavior of iron aluminide-based alloys

Conference ·
OSTI ID:46570

Iron aluminides are receiving increasing attention as potential high temperature structural materials due to their excellent oxidation and sulfidation resistance. Although the influence of strain rate on the microstructure/property relationships of pure iron and a variety of iron alloys and steels has been extensively studied, the effect of strain rate on the stress-strain and deformation response of iron aluminides remains poorly understood. In this paper the influence of strain rate, varied between 0.001 and 10{sup 4} s{sup {minus}1}, and temperature, between 77 & 1073{degree}K, on the mechanical behavior of Fe-40Al-0.1B and Fe-16.12Al-5.44Cr-0.11Zr-0.13C-1.07Mo-006Y, called FAP-Y, (both in at.%) is presented. The rate sensitivity and work hardening of Fe-40Al and the disordered alloy based on Fe-16% Al are discussed as a function of strain rate and temperature.
