| Abstract: | An overview of materials developments of iron aluminium alloys with strengthening precipitate phases is given. The discussion is focussed on recent studies on Fe‐Al‐based alloys with strengthening precipitates, such as κ‐phase Fe3AlCx, MC‐carbide and Laves phase. Alloys of the following alloy systems were investigated: Fe‐Al‐C, Fe‐Al‐Ta, Fe‐Al‐Ni, Fe‐Al‐Ti‐Nb, and Fe‐Al‐M‐C (M = Ti, V, Nb, Ta). The investigations were centred on microstructure, constitution, and mechanical properties of such Fe‐Al‐based alloys with Al contents ranging from 10 to 30 at. %. Mechanisms and problems are discussed and perspectives are outlined. |
