RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Nová, Kateřina A1 Novák, Pavel A1 Vanka, Tomáš A1 Průša, Filip T1 The Effect of Production Process on Properties of FeAl20Si20 JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2018 VO 18 IS 2 SP 295 OP 298 DO 10.21062/ujep/94.2018/a/1213-2489/MT/18/2/295 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201802-0022.php AB This work deals with comparison of two production methods on microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties of intermetallic based on Fe-Al-Si which are appropriate materials for high-temperature applications. A conventional metallurgical process - casting - was compared with a novel processing method, based on ultra-high energy mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) in order to prepare FeAl20Si20 (in wt. %) alloy. The influence of production route was observed. Via MA + SPS can produce a material of the same phase composition but with significantly better mechanical properties. Negligible porosity, fine-grained and homogeneous structure are the reasons.
