Abstract

FeAl based composites reinforced by carbide particles have attracted much attention in the recent years. In the present study, FeAl based composites were prepared by using arc melting route in argon atmosphere. The Ti/Zr addition to FeAl based alloys containing carbon have produced in situ formation of second phase particles namely TiC/ZrC respectively. The in situ precipitated TiC/ZrC carbides were found to be thermally stable and improved the mechanical properties of FeAl. The influence of these alloy carbides on the mechanical properties of FeAl based composites were studied. The addition of Ti/Zr resulted superior strength than FeAl alloy containing carbon. The mean coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEs) of FeAl based composites were also measured. The presence of these carbides significantly affected the CTE of FeAl based composites.
