Abstract
The present investigation highlights the creep deformation behavior of the yttria dispersion strengthened iron aluminide alloy in the temperature range of 600–700 °C at different stress levels. A relatively higher value of apparent Norton exponent (∼9 at 600 °C, 12.6 at 650 °C and 12.9 at 700 °C) of the investigated alloy has been rationalized with the incorporation of the concept of the threshold stress. After determining the threshold stress value of 103.6 MPa at 600 °C, 84.2 MPa at 650 °C and 74 MPa at 700 °C, the true Norton exponent value has been found as ∼3, which estimates the occurrence of glide-controlled creep mechanism in the investigated alloy. The TEM investigation of creep-tested sample substantiate the aforementioned governing creep deformation mechanism. The apparent activation energy for creep deformation has been found to be higher (∼613.7 kJ/mol) in the temperature range of 600–625 °C, and relatively lower (∼310.9 kJ/mol) in the temperature range of 650–700 °C. However, the true value of activation energy for creep deformation has been identified to be constant (∼44.2 kJ/mol) in the temperature range of 600–700 °C. Both the Modified Monkman-Grant relation and microscopic investigations of the investigated alloy have revealed a stable microstructural feature after creep deformation, which comprises nanometer-sized Y2O3 within the iron aluminide matrix. The Kernel Average Misorientation analyzed through EBSD analysis of the creep-tested samples have been correlated with the apparent Norton exponent and activation energy for creep deformation.
