• Iron Aluminide Designations:

Chemical Formula: Fe₃Al

• Iron Aluminide Description:

a) A class of iron-based alloys that offer excellent high temperature oxidation and sulfidation resistance.

b) Iron aluminide is a low cost alternative to stainless steel. They resist corrosion by the formation of an adherent surface film of Al2O3. Iron aluminide is also more ductile then stainless steel. These properties, among others, make a better materials for some applications, despite its slightly higher cost. 

• Iron Aluminide Properties & Benefits:

High yield and ultimate tensile strength, lower density than stainless steel, excellent oxidation resistance up to 1,200 deg.C, Excellent sulfidation resistance at high temperatures, Excellent resistance to highly oxidizing molten salts.
