Abstract
The ternary system Fe-Al-Ta allows the formation of the hard and brittle ternary Laves phase Ta(Fe0.5+x,Al0.5-x)2 with hexagonal C14 structure. The present study concentrates on Fe-Al-Ta alloys with small Ta contents between 2 and 6 at.% and various Al contents between 0 and 45 at.%. The phase equilibria in the ternary Fe-Al-Ta system at 1000°C are studied experimentally for determination of the solubility limits of Ta in iron aluminide matrices and types of phases and structures which may occur at high temperatures. It is observed that small amounts of Laves phase together with atomic ordering increase the yield stress and affect ductility in a complex way.
