The mechanical properties of B2 structural FeAl alloys, prepared by hot rolling, at elevated temperatures have been measured by tensile tests. The alloys of Fe-36.5at.%Al, Fe-36.5at.%Al-5at.%Cr and Fe-36.5at%Al-2at.%Ti were taken for tensile tests at a temperature range from room temperature to 1,000 C. The fracture surfaces of these alloys were observed by SEM. The results showed that elongations of these alloys increased with increasing temperature when the testing temperatures were above 600 C. All the maximum elongations of these alloys appeared at 1,000 C and those of Fe-36.5Al, Fe-36.5Al-5Cr, and Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloys were 120%, 183% and 208% respectively. Fracture surfaces showed that failure of these alloys was by a combination of intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage below 700 C, but showed a ductile fracture above 700 C. The ductility and strength of ternary alloys were higher than that of binary FeAl alloy at elevated temperatures, especially at high temperature. The {l_angle}111{r_angle} dislocations and helices have been observed in Fe-36.5Al alloy by TEM. The large elongation of FeAl alloy at high temperature resulted from {l_angle}111{r_angle} dislocations slipping and {l_angle}111{r_angle} helices climbing.
