Abstract

Fe-Al-X alloys (X = Cr, Mo) in the composition range 50 to 80 at. % Fe, 0 to 20 at. % X were rapidly solidified by chill-block melt-spinning. As-spun and heat treated ribbons were characterised by optical and electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Strengthening mechanisms were identified using microhardness measurements. Tensile fracture surfaces of ribbons reveal ductile to cleavage to intergranular fracture transitions with increasing Al-content. An increasing preponderance of cleavage fracture with increasing ternary substitution for Fe was observed.
