Abstract
The microstructure and properties of the rapidly solidified Al-8Fe-2Mo-1.5Si alloy for elevated temperature applications were investigated. The effects of Mo on thermal stability and Si on fracture toughness through the observation of microstructure, hardness test and tensile test were described. The mechanical properties of extrudates with the variation of extrusion ratio and size distribution of powder were investigated. Hardness of smaller powder(50㎛) was superior to that of larger powder(150㎛). The extrudate consolidated with finer powder size distribution (10∼100㎛) yields higher strength than that with a coarse size distribution(100∼200㎛). The tensile strength of 2nd extruded bar which was consolidated with finer powders was 520MPa at 25℃, 310MPa at 275℃. The deterioration of mechanical properties at elevated temperature was due to the decomposition of Zone A and metastable phase Al_6Fe into stable phase Al₃Fe and the growth of needle-like Al₃Fe precipitates. Quarternary Mo and Si containing alloys showed uniform dispersion of fine cuboidal-polygonal precipitates, bcc Al_(12)(Fe,Mo)₃Si phase which displayed a remarkable resistance to coarsening.
