Abstract

The preparation of bulk naocrystalline Fe3Al-based material by aluminothermic reaction was described. Ferric sesquioxide and aluminum powders were weighed according to the stoichiometry of the aluminothermic reaction. Metallographic investigations and chemical analysis of the polished cross sections of the Fe3Al product are performed on an electron probe microanalyzer. EPMA examination revealed that the bright phase consists of Fe and Al elements and the black phase consists of Mn, Al, and S elements.
