Abstrakt: Phase changes that occur in melt spun high carbon Fe-Ni-Al-C alloys are investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. A typical modulated crystal structure along the elastically soft 〈100〉 directions was observed in the transmission electron micrographs coinciding with the development of sidebands in the vicinity of the X-ray diffraction main peaks. The modulation wavelength increases with the increasing ribbon thickness, indicating that the modulated domains coarsen to a larger extent in the more slowly cooled specimens. The intensity of odd (h + k + l) superlattice spots is much stronger than that of even (h + k + l) superlattice spots. This is attributed to theL’′12type ordering in carbon rich domains of the modulated structure of as-solidified specimens. After brief heat treatment, these alloys developed an unusual lamellar duplex microstructure made up of perovskite carbide and ferrite plates.
