Low Cycle Fatigue of FeAl (42 at. % Al) at Room Temperature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The monotonie mechanical behavior in tension and compression of FeAl has been well documented. However, very little work has been done on the cyclic deformation behavior of this material. In this work, the behavior of FeAl (42 at. % Al) under low cycle fatigue was studied, including the effects of test environments and surface coatings. It was found that the fatigue life of this alloy is limited by environmental embrittlement. This embrittlement process can be equally well prevented by deformation in an oxygen environment or by coating the alloy with a protective film. The type of film applied appears to have little effect. Similar results were seen in monotonie testing.
