Abstract

In an attempt to produce a two-phase alloy consisting of a L21–structured (Fe, Ni)2MnAl-based phase in either a B2 or b.c.c. matrix, seven Fe-Ni-Mn-Al alloys were cast. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the as-cast alloys revealed a range of microstructures including single phase L21, a f.c.c./B2 eutectic, and alternating, coherent 10–60 nm wide ordered and disordered b.c.c. rods aligned along <100>. A description of the phases, including chemical compositions and hardnesses is presented.
