To address the challenge of balancing strength and ductility in Fe-Al intermetallic compounds, the Fe-Al-Ta eutectic alloys with varying Ta contents were designed and synthesized by the Thermite Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS) method. The findings indicate that changes in Ta content significantly alter the morphology of the second phase in the alloy. Notably, at a Ta content of 20 wt%, fine and uniformly distributed anomalous eutectic particles substantially enhance the alloy's strength and toughness simultaneously.

During deformation, the synergistic interaction of this micro-nano structure enables the alloy to achieve high strength while maintaining good plasticity and toughness. The research reveals that the formation of anomalous eutectic Fe<sub>2</sub>Ta(Al) particles stems from the remelting of regular eutectic lamellae.

At lower austenitization temperatures, the two steels show little difference in PAG size. As the austenitization temperature increases, PAGs in the Nb-bearing steel become significantly coarser than those in the Nb-free steel. During cooling, Nb shifts the CCT curves to lower temperatures, delaying ferrite/pearlite transformation and refining the pearlite interlamellar spacing at a given cooling rate. In addition, the Nb-free steel is harder than the Nb-bearing steel under undeformed conditions. After hot deformation, interphase precipitation makes the Nb-bearing steel harder. However, because of competition among microstructural morphologies and phase constituents induced by Nb precipitation, the hardness-cooling rate curves exhibit a crossover. Furthermore, strain-induced precipitation generated by hot deformation and interphase precipitation (IP) bands ahead of migrating phase boundaries pins migrating interfaces and refines the microstructure.
