Dispersion strengthened Al-8.5% Fe-1.2% V-1.7% Si (8009) alloy containing 40-80 nm diameter dispersoids and exhibiting attractive elevated temperature strengths can be successfully produced by rapid solidification techniques such as Planar Flow Casting (PFC) and Atomized Melt Deposition (AMD). The grain sizes of alloys produced by PFC and AMD are typically O.5 to 1.0 [mu]m. Fine grain sized aluminum alloys have been found to exhibit plastic instabilities such as yield drop, formation of Lueder's bands and positive deviation from Hall-Petch relationship. The stress-strain behavior at room and elevated temperature of the fine grained dispersion strengthened Al-8.5% Fe-1.2% V-1.7% Si alloy produced by PFC and the AMD processes was determined with the objective of delineating the effect of fine grain size on the deformation behavior.
