The evolution of internal stresses in oxide scales growing on an Fe3Al polycrystal in atmospheric air at 700 determined using in-situ energy-dispersive synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Texture analyses were performed ex-situ after 5h of oxidation at 700 the oxide scale thickness, as determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, lays between 80 and 100nm. The main phase present in the oxide scal...

Fe3Al intermetallics (Fe3Al, Fe3Al-Zr, Fe3Al-Zr,Mo and Fe3Al-Zr,Mo,Nb) were oxidized at 950 C in dry and humid (11 vol% water) synthetic air. Thermogravimetric measurements showed that the oxidation rates of the tested intermetallics were lower in humid air than in dry air (especially for Fe3Al-Zr,Mo and Fe3Al-Zr,Mo,Nb). The addition of small amounts of Zr, Mo or Nb improved the kinetics compar...

The effect of ball milling on kinetics of the thermite reaction of 3Fe2O3 + 8Al powder mixture to synthesizeFe3Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite was investigated using differential thermal analysis. A model-free methodwas applied to the non-isothermal differential calorimetry (DSC) data to evaluate the reaction kineticsaccording to the Starink method. The activation energy of the thermit...

Corrosion-resistant coatings based on the iron aluminide intermetallic compound Fe3Al are currently being investigated for fossil energy applications. Fe3Al possesses excellent intrinsic high-temperature oxidation and sulfidation resistance, and a significant effort has been made in the development of bulk alloys based on it. While substantial progress has been made, the widespread use of these...

A multi-year effort has been focused on optimizing the long-term oxidation performance of ingot-processed (IP) and oxide-dispersion strengthened (ODS) Fe3Al and iron aluminidebased coatings. Based on results from several composition iterations, a Hf-doped alloy (Fe28Al-2Cr-0.05at.%Hf) has been developed with significantly better high temperature oxidation resistance than other iron aluminides. ...

Mill scale and aluminum dross are the industrial wastes from steel industries, which have high concentrations of Fe2O3 Al2O3, respectively. This paper reports conversion reducible metal oxides in into an alloy via carbothermic reduction at 1550 °C. Scale were mixed with graphite three different C/O molar ratios 1, 1.5, 2 to produce a pellet. The pellets heated °C for up 6 h under argon atmosphe...

The Fe3Al alloy with D03 structure exhibits large recoverable strains due to reversible slips. Tension and compression experiments were conducted on single crystals of Fe3Al, and the onset of slip in forward and reverse directions were obtained utilizing high-resolution digital image correlation technique. The back stress provides the driving force for reversal of deformation upon unloading, re...

The synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe3Al powder by mechanical alloying as well as the structural ordering of the synthesized Fe3Al particles during the subsequent thermal analysis were investigated. Mechanical alloying was performed up to 100 hours using a planetary ball mill apparatus with rotational speed of 300 rpm under argon atmosphere at ambient temperature. The synthesized powders were cha...
