Abstract

The influence of deformation nanostructuring and subsequent annealing on the temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient of the Fe-36% Ni Invar alloy is studied. The nanostructured state was obtained by severe plastic deformation via high pressure torsion in Bridgman anvils. An “anomalous” contraction of the nanostructured Fe-36% Ni alloy was detected during heating in certain temperature ranges. The phase composition of the nanostructured Invar was studied to explain the behavior of the thermal expansion coefficient. The revealed anomalies of the coefficients are explained by the formation of a bcc phase not observed in the Fe-36% Ni Invar alloy in the coarse-grained state. The formation of this phase becomes possible due to a significant increase in the diffusion coefficient as a result of nanostructuring.
