An overview of environmental effects in iron aluminides

Description

Iron aluminides hold great promise for intermediate temperature applications (to ∼ 600 C) because of their excellent oxidation and sulfidation resistance and good strength. However, they have poor low temperature ductility, a feature which is exacerbated by water-containing environments. This paper presents an overview of the effects of environment on the ductility of iron aluminides, including the effects of iron:aluminum ratio; ternary alloying additions, particularly boron; strain rate; and temperature. The mechanisms involved in water-induced embrittlement are discussed. 65 refs., 10 figs
