Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The kinetics of Fe rich <italic></italic> and Cr rich <italic></italic>′ phase separation during aging of Fe-Cr-Al oxide dispersion strengthened alloys have been analysed with a combination of atom probe tomography and thermoelectric power measurements. The slight lattice parameter decrease measured by X-ray diffraction after thermal aging was associated with a lattice misfit between the emerging <italic></italic> and <italic></italic>′ domains. The elastic strain associated with this misfit and the different elastic moduli for the <italic></italic> and <italic></italic>′ phases would produce an increase in internal stresses that would retard the motion of dislocations and thus would be the main cause for the strengthening.</p> </abstract>
