Abstract: In this work, we employed the Mössbauer spectroscopy in a study of point defect formation in intermetallic phases of the B2 structure from the Fe-Al system as a function of Al concentration. We present the values of the 57Fe isomer shift and quadruple splitting for the components describing the point defect in the local environment of a Mössbauer nuclide. The concentration of the Fe vacancies and Fe atoms substituting Al (Fe-AS) are determined. The results shown that an increase in Al content causes an increase in vacancy and Fe-AS
