A wide range of properties can be achieved in intermetallic coatings applied by gas detonation spraying (GDS). The properties of Fe-40at%Al GDS layers, however, may change when exposed to temperatures exceeding a threshold level. To characterize such changes, Fe-40at%Al GDS coatings were subjected to systematic dilatometric studies in which temperatures were cycled from room temperature to 1180 °C. The investigation revealed both irreversible and reversible phase transitions as described in the paper. Dilatometry measurements obtained from sintered samples made from the same powder are presented for comparison.
