Abstract

A ferritic Fe-19 Cr-4 Ni-2 Al alloy was cyclically deformed at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to investigate the dislocation structures developed in the solution-treated and aged specimens. For the solution-treated alloy deformed at a low strain amplitude (0.3%), TEM observations revealed the presence of screw dislocations with the two slip systems. Extended wall and labyrinth structures were observed in the solution-treated Fe-19 Cr-4 Ni-2 Al alloy after cycling at intermediate strains. On the other hand, the microstructural examination showed that paired dislocations and concentrated slip bands were developed in the aged alloy cycled at a total amplitude of 0.4%. With further cycling of the aged alloy at a higher strain amplitude (1%) only loop patches were observed.
