Abstract

Abstract The anelasticity of binary Fe –Al and ternary Fe –Al –Me (Me = Co, Cr, Ge, Mn, Nb, Si, Ta, Ti, Zr) alloys has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy in the Hz and kHz ranges. Relaxation peaks due to point defects – Snoek effect (S) with carbon interstitial jumps, carbon-vacancy complexes (X peak), Zener effect (Z), dislocations (D), and grain boundaries (GB) – are observed and their changes with addition of the third element are used to corroborate the respective proposed relaxation mechanisms, taking account of the changes of structure and order in the alloys which contain up to 5Co, 25Cr, 25Ge, 5Mn, 0.3Nb, 25Si, 6Ta, 4Ti, and 15Zr (all in at.%), respectively. In addition, some data of ordering temperatures, Curie temperatures, and hardness are provided for several alloys.
