The phenomenon of superplasticity in an ordered FeAl based alloy is reported in this paper for the first time. The behavior of superplastic deformation for the FeAl based alloy (Fe-36.5at.%-2at.%Ti) with large grains of above 300 μm has been examined at 1000°C in a strain rate range from 1.39×10− 4 /s to 2.78×l0−2 /s. The maximum elongation of 208% for the FeAl based alloy with large grains has been obtained and the index of strain rate sensitivity, the m value, has a range of values from 0.25 to 0.42. The reason for the large elongation is ascribed to the dynamic recovery and recrystallization during deformation in this large grained alloy at high temperatures.
