Abstract
A high-temperature Al–8Cr–1.5Fe alloy has been developed for applications in the range from room temperature to 300°C. The billets are obtained in two ways: using gas-atomized and water-atomized powders. Structural analysis shows that particles of the second phase in the water-atomized powders are finer and their number in the aluminum matrix is greater than that in the gas-atomized powders. The rods extruded from the water-atomized powders have much higher hardness, ultimate strength, and yield stress than those from the gas-atomized powders, plasticity being acceptable at all temperatures (20, 190, and 300°C). An additional powder metallurgy operation—pulsed hot pressing—does not increase the strength of billets from either the water-atomized or gas-atomized powders. The alloy based on the water-atomized 0–63 μm powder shows the maximum strength: 483, 332, and 261 MPa at 20, 190, and 300°C, respectively.
