The microstructures were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS). Two types of alloys were prepared by vacuum arc melting. One is Fe-28Al based alloys (D03 structured) with and without alloying elements such as Mo and Zr. The other one is Fe-35Al based alloys (B2 structured) produced with the same manner. For both types of alloys, Mo addition had found to exhibit an equiaxed microstructure, while dendritic structure was observed to show the effect of Zr addition. These microstructural features were more evinced with increasing content of alloying element. Concerning the mechanical properties and wear resistance, Fe-35Al based alloys were superior to Fe-28Al based alloys over the whole temperature range investigated.展开更多

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Ni3Al based intermetallic alloys produced by vacuum arc melting were investigated in terms of phase analysis by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and tensile test. The duplex microstructural feature consisting of γ' matrix phase and small intermetallic dispersoids was observed to be distributed over the whole microstructure. The ultimate tensile strength of the present alloy was superior to commercial iron-based and Ni-based die-materials especially in the high temperature region.展开更多
