Equal Channel Angular Pressing Consolidation and Heat Treatment of Blended Elemental Powders of Fe-Mn-Al

Abstract:

In this work, the consolidation of blended elemental powders of iron, manganese and aluminum (Fe-25Mn-15Al wt.%) was performed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP). Samples were consolidated at room temperature in a Φ = 120° die by a single pass and a second pass in route A. Both samples were heat treated at 650 °C and water cooled. Prior to heat treatment, samples presented a dense but chemically inhomogeneous structure. Fe and Al particles were highly deformed, whereas, Mn was almost undeformed. Mn particles were partially shattered by friction with Fe and Al particles. After heat treatment, the samples were characterized by SEM-EDX and presented substantial interdiffusion along the particles interfaces. It is believed that higher deformations by ECAP may improve the sinterability of consolidated samples in order to densify and chemically homogenize it.
