Abstract

Fe-37 at.% Al-15 at.% Mo has an equilibrium two-phase structure consisting of an ordered B2 (FeAl-based) matrix with Mo 3Al as the second phase. Rapid solidification by chill-block melt-spinning suppresses the formation of the Mo 3Al phase, giving instead single phase B2-FeAl supersaturated with Mo and containing a network of faults revealed by TEM. Imaging with B2 superlattice reflections revealed an anisotropic antiphase domain contrast while imaging with fundamental (b.c.c.) reflections showed typical stacking fault or thin precipitate contrast for the same faults. The faults were identified as a/2〈111〉{100} type B2 antiphase boundaries. It is proposed that the formation of such anisotropic and non-conservative antiphase boundaries is related to the retention of excess Mo within the B2 matrix by rapid solidification.
