Abstract

The effects of the environment on the room temperature mechanical behavior of Fe-43Al single crystals have been studied. In both single slip and duplex slip crystals, fracture strains greater than 40% were obtained in specimens tested in oxygen, whereas elongations of ∼10% and ∼20% were obtained in air and vacuum, respectively. By comparison, similar elongations were obtained in boron-doped single-slip-oriented single crystals in both air and vacuum, but more ductility was obtained in air at slow strain rate. Fractography showed that testing in different environments produced marked differences in the fracture surfaces. Alternate loading of tensile specimens in air and under vacuum was performed at slow strain rates and showed changes in the flow stress between the two environments. The results are discussed in terms of the effects of moisture-produced hydrogen on the flow and fracture of FeAl.
