Publisher's Synopsis
While there are many publications dealing with intermetallic materials, this book is unique in that it focuses on one specific type of intermetallic, iron aluminides. 28 reviewed papers present recent significant advances in the general areas of processing, microstructure and mechanical behaviour, dislocations and defects, and environmental effects. It should be of interest to anyone involved with iron aluminide intermetallics.;Coverage includes: processing and applications of iron aluminides; production and properties of CSM FeA1 intermetallic alloys; flow and fracture of FeA1; point defect strengthening in FeA1; compositional influences on the high-temperature corrosion resistance of iron aluminides.;The book is drawn from a collection of papers from the 1994 TMS Annual Meeting held in San Francisco, California, Februar 27-March 3, 1994.
