Abstract
The microstructure and fracture surfaces were investigated for five Fe3Al – based iron aluminides doped by different alloying elements (Nb, Zr + C, Cr) or without addition. Generally, iron aluminides are considered as brittle material at room temperature, therefore the type and distribution of secondary phases affect the fracture behaviour. The influence of present secondary phase particles on impact toughness at room temperature was evaluated in comparison to binary alloy. The type and the volume fraction of particles affect the value of impact toughness significantly – these values decrease with increasing volume fraction of precipitates. On the other hand, the solid solution strengthening improves impact toughness.
