Abstract
The effects of carbon on the phase structure and on the yield stress σ 0.2 in the temperature range from 873 K to 1073 K (600 °C to 800 °C) of the Fe3Al type aluminides alloyed by Zr are analyzed. Four alloys with Zr and C in ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 at. pct of additives were used. The appearing of either Laves phase (Fe,Al)2Zr and/or carbides depend on the difference in concentrations, c Zr − c C. This parameter (c Zr − c C) has been selected instead of the concentration ratio c Zr/c C used in previous works since it exhibits a significantly better correlation with the Laves phase concentration which influences the high-temperature yield stress, σ 0.2, of the tested alloys. The presence of Laves phase or eutectic (matrix—Laves phase), respectively, enhances the value of the yield stress σ 0.2. The amount of Laves phase is decreased by the presence of C due to the affinity of carbon to Zr.
