Abstract
The effect of the addition of up to 10 pct molybdenum on several metallurgical properties of Fe-28Al (at. pct) to which 1 pct TiB2 was added for grain refinement has been studied. It was determined that the addition of molybdenum results in a decrease in grain size, an increase in the recrystallization temperature, and an increase in the DO3 to B2 ordering transformation temperature. The solubility limit of molybdenum in the matrix of the base alloy was found to be about 6 pct. At this concentration, another 1 pct is dissolved in the TiB2 precipitates. Tensile strengths were increased slightly by adding up to 2 pct Mo, but ductility decreased, even though grain sizes were reduced. The fracture mode in tension did not change with addition of molybdenum up to 2 pct.
