Structural Evolution of Fe Rich Fe-Al Alloys During Ball Milling and Subsequent Heat Treatment Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • ABSTRACTX-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been utilized to investigate the structural evolution of Fe rich Fe-Al alloys during ball milling. It is found that b.c.c. solid solutions can be formed either through ball milling alone or through ball milling together with heat treatment. Thermal diagrams of the milled Fe-Al powders reveal exothermic peaks corresponding to the formation of cc-Fe(Al) solid solution (in both Fe-4wt.%Al and Fe-10wt.%Al) and the formation of FeAl intermetallic compound (in Fe-10wt.%Al). The transformation kinetics of cc-Fe(Al) solid solution in Fe-4wt.%Al were found to follow the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation.
