摘要：and the role of Mn in the κ structure and its elastic properties were studied. The Ni-containing samples were found to have a higher hardness due to the B2 phase composition being NiAl rather than FeAl, with Ni-Al bonds reported to be stronger than the Fe-Al bonds. In both samples, at temperatures of 900 °C and above, the ferrite phase contained nano-sized discs of B2 phase, wherein the Ni-containing samples exhibited higher hardness, attributed again to the stronger Ni-Al bonds in the B2 phase. At 700 °C and below, the nano-sized B2 discs were replaced by micrometre sized needles of κ in the Ni-free sample resulting in a lowering of the hardness. In the Ni-containing sample, the entire α phase was replaced by B2 stringers, which had a lower hardness than the Ni-Al nano-discs due to a lower Ni content in B2 stringer bands formed at 700 °C and below. In addition, the hardness of needle-like κ-carbides formed in α phase was found to be a function of Mn content. Although it was impossible to measure the hardness of cuboid κ particles in γ phase because of their nano-size, the hardness value of composite phases, e.g. γ + κ was measured and reported. All the hardness values were compared and rationalized by bonding energy between different atoms.
