THE FORMATION OF VACANCIES IN ORDERED Fe-Al ALLOYS WITH B2 STRUCTURE

This work develops the anharmonic correlated Debye model to study the temperature-dependent extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) Debye-Waller factors (DWFs) of B2-FeAl alloys. We derived the analytical expressions of the EXAFS DWF and Debye frequency as functions of temperature. Numerical calculations were performed for Fe1-yAly alloys with various Al concentration (y = 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50) in which Fe-Al alloys still maintained B2 structure. The good agreement between our theoretical results with previous data verifies our developed theory. Our calculations show that DWFs of Fe1-yAly alloys increase robustly when temperature and/or Al concentration in Fe1-yAly alloys increase. The increasing of DWF will cause the reduction of the amplitude of EXAFS.

The Many

The contrast in electron microscopic images of planar faults in a crystal is characterized by a phase factor , where is the reciprocal lattice vector of the operating reflection, and the lattice displacement due to the fault under consideration. Within the two-beam theory a planar fault with an integer value of is invisible, but a detectable contrast is expected when the many-beam dynamical effect is not negligibly small. A weak fringe contrast is also expected when differs slightly from an integer owing to an additional small displacement of the lattice across the fault. These faint contrasts are termed as many-beam contrasts in the former case, and as ε fringe contrasts in the latter. In the present work stacking faults in Cu-Al alloys and antiphase boundaries (APB) in CuZn, FeCo and Fe-Al alloys were observed under such conditions as mentioned above, and the results were compared with the image profiles of the faults calculated in the systematic ten-beam approximation.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
