Effect　of　Sc　element　on　the　growth,　type　and　micromorphology　of　intermetallic　compounds　at　the　Al/Fe　composite　interface　was　studied　by　means　of　SEM,　EDS　and　other　methods.　The　results　show　that　the　cold-rolled　composite　Al/Fe　composite　plates　produce　continuous　interfacial　compounds　after　annealing　at　475-640　°C　for　1　h,　and　the　change　trend　of　intermetallic　compound　thickness　at　560　°C　and　below　is　basically　the　same,　but　above　560　°C,　the　growth　trend　of　intermetallic　compounds　at　the　interface　of　Sc-containing　composite　plates　slows　down　significantly,　and　the　thickness　is　greatly　reduced.　This　indicates　that　the　addition　of　Sc　elements　on　the　Al　side　does　not　completely　inhibit　the　production　of　intermetallic　compounds　at　the　interface.　At　the　same　time,　the　addition　of　Sc　elements　does　not　change　the　type　and　distribution　of　interface　compounds,　which　are　FeAl3,　Fe2Al5　and　FeAl　from　Al　side　to　Fe　side.　The　Fe2Al5　phase　at　Fe　side　is　finely　jagged　when　annealed　at　475　°C,　but　the　whole　morphology　is　very　flat,　however,　it　becomes　coarse　finger-like　morphology　and　uneven　when　annealed　at　580　°C.　©　2024　Chinese　Mechanical　Engineering　Society　of　Heat　Treatment.　All　rights　reserved.
