Abstract
A simple and inexpensive method for combustion synthesis of the series of Fe-x%Ni martensite alloys (x = 15, 20, 23, 25 at %) was developed. XRD, SEM, and TEM examinations showed that all the prod- ucts were composed of lath martensite and retained austenite. With increasing nickel content, the hardness and yield strength decreased gradually, which originated from the differences in phase compositions and micro structural characteristics. All the products exhibited high strength and good ductility, especially the Fe-15%Ni alloy which exhibited (in compression tests) high yield strength (up to 1300 MPa) at a good duc- tility (∼30%).
