Recrystallization of iron-aluminum alloys

Conclusions In Fe–Al alloys containing up to 16% Al the grains increase in size at 1100–1200°C. The increase in grain size is one of the reasons for the poor deformability of these alloys at low temperatures, and therefore the intermediate heat treatment must be carried out at temperatures no higher than 900°C.Central Scientific Research Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 6, pp. 36–38, June, 1966
