The Effect of Intermetallic Phases on Ductile to Brittle Transition of Aluminium-Iron Alloy

Abstract:

The effect of intermetallic phases and grain size on ductile to brittle transition temperature of Aluminium-Iron alloy (Al–11% Fe) was investigated in this research work. An Izod impact testing method was adopted to study the DBTT in the temperature interval of 77 K to 373 K. The ductile-brittle transition points: fracture transition plastic (FTP), fracture-appearance transition temperature (FATT), impact energy transition temperature (IETT), fractional surface area of cleavage (brittle) and fibrous (ductile) fractures and grain size of the samples were also determined. The fracture toughness of Al-Fe alloy found decreasing with temperature in contrast to conventional materials. The fractographic investigation revealed that the microstructural changes play a major role in determining the fracture toughness of these alloys. Annealing of these samples slightly improved the fracture toughness as the spherical morphology of intermetallic particles resists the crack propagation.
