摘要

In this paper, FeCrAl alloys strengthened via dispersed ZrC particles were fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) techniques. The influences of sintering temperature and nano-scale ZrC addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the FeCrAl alloys were investigated. The 05ZrC-FeCrAl alloy sintered at 1000 °C exhibited a maximum tensile strength of 1058 MPa and a hardness of 318.2 HV, which were closely associated with the grain structure and ZrC distribution. Compared to the pure FeCrAl alloy, the 05ZrC-FeCrAl alloy displayed finer grain size and more dispersed ZrC particles, confirming that the addition of ZrC could effectively suppress the grain boundary migration and dislocation recovery behaviors. As a result, the introduction of ZrC could simultaneously reinforce the grain boundary strengthening, dispersion strengthening and dislocation strengthening effects in the FeCrAl alloys. The alloying strategy developed in this work provides a novel pathway for designing advanced structural materials for nuclear reactors.
