High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Thin Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy Sheet

Description: Abstract: "The oxidation resistance of thin sheets of iron-28 w/o chromium-2.67 to 10.0 w/o alloys, nominally 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, 0.012, and 0.016 in. thick, was determined by exposure in static air for 100 hr at 2100 and 2300 F. A minimum of 3.67 and 9.37 w/o aluminum was necessary to prevent excessive oxidation of 0.004-in.-thick sheet material at 2100 and 2300 F, respectively. Correspondingly, specimens of lower aluminum content and greater thickness withstood the oxidation attack. Oxidatio… more

Spreading of Sn-Ag solders on FeNi alloys

Description: The spreading of Sn-3Ag-xBi solders on Fe-42Ni has been studied using a drop transfer setup. Initial spreading velocities as fast as {approx}0.5 m/s have been recorded. The results are consistent with a liquid front moving on a metastable, flat, unreacted substrate and can be described by using a modified molecular-kinetic model for which the rate controlling step is the movement of one atom from the liquid to the surface of the solid substrate. Although the phase diagram predicts the formation… more

Effect of heat treatment temperature on creep-rupture properties of Fe{sub 3}Al-based alloys

Description: The effects of heat treatment at 1100 to 1250C on the creep-rupture properties of an Fe{sub 3}Al-based alloy were studied. Tests were conducted at 593C (1100F) and 207 MPa (30 ksi) in air. The modes of fracture were identified using optical metallography and scanning electron microscopy. Analytical electron microscopy was also used to study characteristics of the microstructure, including dislocations, ordered domains, and precipitates. The creep results showed maximum creep-rupture resistance … more

Study of Factors Influencing Ductility of Iron-Aluminum Alloys. Monthly Letter Report No. 8, 15 March 1959 to 15 March 1960

Description: Studies are being made on the effects of variation of aluminum content, heat treatment, surface preparation, and other metallurgical factors on the room temperature ductility of Al-- Fe alloys. It is estimated that approximately 65 percent of the proposed research has been completed over the first eight and one-half months of the contract period.

Effects of symmetry on circular and linear magnetic dichroism in angle-resolved photoemission spectra of Gd/Y (0001) and Fe-Ni//Cu (001)

Description: We have observed circular and linear magnetic dichroism in angle- resolved photoemission spectra of 50-monolayer Gd film grown on Y(0001) and 6-monolayer Fe-Ni alloy films grown on Cu(001). The 4f level of Gd and the Fe 3p level of the Fe-Ni alloy were measured. A different geometry was used for the magnetic circular dichroism than was used to measure the magnetic linear dichroism. The geometries were chosen so that the shape of the magnetic circular dichroism is predicted to be equal to the sh… more

The mechanical properties of FeAl

Description: Only in the last few years has progress been made in obtaining reproducible mechanical properties data for FeAl. Two sets of observations are the foundation of this progress. The first is that the large vacancy concentrations that exist in FeAl at high temperature are easily retained at low temperature and that these strongly affect the low-temperature mechanical properties. The second is that RT ductility is adversely affected by water vapor. Purpose of this paper is not to present a comprehen… more

Refracted x-ray fluorescence (RXF) applied to the study of thermally grown oxide scales on Fe-Cr-Ni-(RE) alloys.

Description: Refracted X-Ray Fluorescence (RXF) is applied to the study of the thermally grown scales on Fe25Cr20Ni(RE) alloys. The evolution of chromia scales is investigated for alloys containing reactive elements (RE) Y and Zr as well as the corresponding RE-free alloy. For these alloys, scale compositions, scale thicknesses and growth rates are measured and information about concentration depth profiles is obtained.

Low Cross-Section Iron-Base Alloys

Description: Data are presented on the mechanical properties of iron-silicon and iron- aluminum alloys in the range 0 to 14% Si and about 8% aluminum. The effect of third elements on ductility is discussed, and data are prcsented which indicate that it is not possible to obtain a disordered structure in Fe--Si a1loys from 8 to 14% Si. It is concluded that alloys of iron with 6 to 8% aluminum offer a promising base composition for development of low neutron cross section alloys for use in nuclear reactors. (… more

Nd - Fe - Al, A SPIN GLASS TRANSITION IN A COLLECTION OF SUPERPARAMAGNETIC CLUSTERS.

Description: In the Nd-Fe-A1 system, compositions in the range of Nd{sub 60}Fe{sub 30}Al{sub 10} have been reported to be ferromagnetic bulk metallic glasses with high coercivities. Careful examination of both the microstructure and magnetic properties of these materials shows this to be true only in the most general sense. The materials are shown to be nanocomposites, in the strictest sense, with characteristic structural length scales on the order of 1.2 nm. Magnetically, the materials are also composites… more

The Density of Liquid Plutonium Metal

Description: Measurements were made of the product of surface tension (ϒ) and the contact angle (θ) of liquid plutonium vs solid tantalum and of the density of liquid plutonium (p) as functions of temperature between 655 and 960°C. The following values were obtained: ϒ cos θ = 1030 - (0.967)T d/cm and p = [17.56$sub 7$ - (1.45$sub 1$ x 10$sup -3$)T] ± 0.021 g/cm$sup 3$. A single determination was also made of the liquid density of a plutonium-7.93 atomic percent iron alloy and he following value obtained: p… more

Crystal structure and phase stability in Fe{sub 1{minus}x}Co{sub x} from AB initio theory

Description: For alloys between Fe and Co, their magnetic properties determine their structure. From the occupation of d states, a phase diagram is expected which depend largely on the spin polarization. A method more elaborate than canonical band models is used to calculate the spin moment and crystal structure energies. This method was the multisublattice generalization of the coherent potential approximation in conjunction with the Linear-Muffin-Tin-Orbital method in the atomic sphere approximation. To t… more

Development of filler metals for welding of iron aluminide alloys. Final report

Description: Attempts were made to develop a coating formulation for shielded metal arc (SMA) welding electrodes for iron aluminide alloys. Core wires of various compositions were produced by aspiration casting at ORNL and coating formulation development was conducted by Devasco, Inc. It was found that, except for weld deposit compositions containing less than 10 weight % aluminum, all weld deposits exhibited extensive cold cracking and/or porosity. It was concluded that current coating formulation technolo… more

The correlation between swelling and radiation-induced segregation in iron-chromium-nickel alloys.

Description: The magnitudes of both void swelling and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) in iron-chromium-nickel alloys are dependent on bulk alloy composition. Because the diffusivity of nickel via the vacancy flux is slow relative to chromium, nickel enriches and chromium depletes at void surfaces during irradiation. This local composition change reduces the subsequent vacancy flux to the void, thereby reducing void swelling. In this work, the resistance to swelling from major element segregation is esti… more
