采用机械合金化 (MA) 和放电等离子烧结 (SPS) 工艺制备致密的块体Al-Fe合金. 微观结构分析表明, MA 0和10 h的粉末经过SPS后, 在Al基体上分布着Al/Al13Fe4/Al5Fe2/Fe层状结构的大颗粒铝铁金属间化合物相和细小的条状或点状的Al13Fe4金属间化合物相; MA 20 h的粉末经过SPS后只有单一的Al13Fe4相均匀弥散分布于Al基体上.对Al-Fe二元体系进行热力学和动力学分析, 在SPS过程中Al/Fe界面上的初生形核相为Al13Fe4, 但由于Al5Fe2的Gibbs自由能比Al13Fe4低, 大颗粒中心部分的Fe与接触的Al13Fe4能进一步发生反应,生成Al5Fe2的同时Fe颗粒自身尺寸相应减小, 这是大颗粒铝铁金属间化合物中Al/Al13Fe4/Al5Fe2/Fe层状结构形成的原因.

Al-Fe alloys have wide potential applications in automobile and aerospace industries due to their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good stability of microstructure and excellent high temperature strength. However, a wide variety of metastable phases can be formed in Al-Fe binary system, such as Al(Fe) supersaturated solid solution, amorphous and intermetallic phase. In order to better understand the phase formation in Al-Fe alloys, a systematic investigation of microstructure evolution is necessary. In this work, bulk dense Al-5Fe alloys were fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The phases, microstructures and morphologies of MA powders and the corresponding sintered samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. Special attention was paid to the effects of different milling times on structural change of phases during MA-SPS process. The results showed that during the MA, the size of alloy powders increased with increasing milling time (0--10 h), and then decreased with further milling time (10--20 h). The (111)Al peaks in XRD spectra of MA powders shifted to higher angles with the increase of milling time, indicating the dissolution of Fe atoms into the Al crystal lattice. Homogeneous Al(Fe) solid solutions were obtained after MA for 20 h. Bulk samples sintered from MA powders of 0 and 10 h contained Al/Al13Fe4/Al5Fe2/Fe layer structure intermetallic phase and tiny Al13Fe4 phase in the Al matrix. However, bulk sample sintered from MA powders of 20 h contained only relatively small Al13Fe4 phase in the Al matrix. Based on thermodynamic analysis (effective heat of formation theory) and kinetic analysis (spherical shell model), the primary phase that formed on the interfacial layer of Al/Fe was Al13Fe4, and then Al5Fe2 can be formed by the reaction of residual Fe and Al13Fe4 for the lower Gibbs free energy of Al5Fe2 compared to that of Al13Fe4, leading to the formation of Al/Al13Fe4/Al5Fe2/Fe layer structure intermetallic phase. The absence of Al5Fe2 and Fe phases in sample sintered from MA powders of 20 h were attributed to the complete reaction between relatively small Fe particles and Al melt during SPS process.
