Study of Phase Transformation in Alloys of the Al-Fe System

Abstract

In this paper, phase transformation in alloys of the Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Cr systems was investigated. The alloys were prepared by melting and gravity casting. The studies of phase transformation were carried out on samples after casting and annealing, using the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and dilatometric method. The knowledge on the phase transformations in these alloys including the information about order-disorder transition is very important from the point of view of obtained mechanical and physical properties of alloys of the Al-Fe system. These results are an important contribution in development of knowledge on iron aluminides. In the article, temperatures of phase transformations connected with a change in order type and transition into disordered solid solution were defined. Conformity of the recorded DTA results and dilatometric analysis was achieved.
