FeAl • Intermetallic compound with B2-structure • low-cost raw material • low density • high electrical resistance • heating elements • high corrosion and sulfidation resistance • high-temperature coating material • poor ductility at low temperatures • low strength at high temperatures > 600°C • limitations in applications To eliminate these disadvantages previous research was focussed on the influence of ternary alloying elements, oxide dispersions, hydrogen embrittlement and grain structure.

Conclusions • Extrusion of Fe-Al alloys leads to specific deformation textures: • increase of Al content • Tension: • <110> fibre <100> + <110> double fibre • Plane strain • a + g fibre g fibre • Dynamic and static recrystallization produces new weak texture components • <110> <102> <114> <111> <112> • Microstructure and texture depend on degree of order and deviation from • stoichiometry • Deformation textures can be simulated with the relaxed constraints Taylor model
