EFFECT OF Y ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Fe-20Cr-4Al-Y ALLOY

With the increase of Y content in the Fe-20Cr-4AI-Y alloy,the uniform deformability of tensile specimens was found to be slightly decreased,as well as,the fracture strength and re- duction after necking remarkably dropped.This seems to be dependent upon the brittle phase containing Y.The behaviour of Y-containing phase may be improved by adjusting the metallurgical technological process.
