Abstract
Tuning of microstructure by addition of austenite stabilizers effectively enhances the mechanical properties in Fe-Nb-(Ni-Mn) dendrite-ultrafine eutectic composites. The Fe93Nb7 alloy displays the improved plasticity up to 10 pct due to the introduction of a ductile α-Fe dendrite into the ultrafine eutectic matrix. Meanwhile, the Fe78Nb7Ni10Mn5 alloy, which forms an in-situ martensitic α′-Fe dendritic phase reinforced ultrafine eutectic composite exhibits excellent combination of a high fracture strength of 1.6 GPa and a large plastic strain of 11 pct. The investigations reveal that the characteristics of the modulated primary dendrites in the dendrite-ultrafine eutectic composites play an important role in manipulating the generation and propagation of shear bands, thus resulting in the improved mechanical properties and plastic deformation behavior.
