“…Iron aluminides are considered as structural and functional materials, increasingly used as intermetallic sinters [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], graded materials [ 11 ], or in the form of HVOF and gas detonation sprayed layers [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Unfortunately, it should be noted that the functional properties of these alloys, especially the mechanical properties, are determined only for the relatively plastic FeAl and Fe 3 Al phases and solid solution with aluminum content restricted to 50 at%.…”
