Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether recrystallization alone had an effect on the room temperature tensile properties of a Fe[sub 3]Al-based alloy. The best room temperature tensile strength and ductility were attained in specimens which had been heat treated to relieve stresses produced by the fabrication process but that had a minimum number of recrystallized grains. The exact mechanism for this improvement is unclear, but could involve texturing effects or the enhancement of dislocation mobilities. Also the elongated grain structure characteristic of as-rolled material provides a minimum of transverse cleavage planes (as well as a minimum of grain boundaries), and could simply be disrupting the path of atomic hydrogen entering the specimen during tensile stressing.
