The films and the oxide scales were analyzed by TEM, EDAX,SEM and XRD.It is proved that, by surface applied Cr2O3 thin film,a continuous, protective,fine grained α-Al2O3 scale was formed on Fe3Al. As a result, the adherence of the scale and oxidation resistance of Fe3Al were improved.展开更多

The results indicated that both chromium and boron result in increasing room temperuture ductility and fracture strength of the Fe3Al alloy whether tested in air or in vacuum. The susceptibility to test envimnment was described with the embrittlement index I: I=(δv-δA)/δv. The embrittlement indexes, for Fe-30Al, Fe-30Al-4Cr and Fe-30Al-0. 13B (at. %), are 24%, 37% and 29%,respectively. Scanning electron microscope examination of fracture surface revealed that the fracture mode of the three alloys remains unchanged, and all of them exhibited a transgranular cleavage fracture mode when tested in vacuum or air.展开更多

Maximum strain rate sensitivity index m was found to be 0.5 and the largest elongation reached 620%. The flow activation energy was measured to be 263kJ/mol for Fe-28Al and 191kJ/ mol for Fe-28Al-2Ti, which are much lower than the creep activation energy generally observed in Fe3Al alloys. After deformation grain size became much finer from about 100 μm to 20-30μm.As combined with TEM observations, we suggested that a continuous recrystallization process took place and superplasticity may arise from this process.展开更多
