What is it about?
Casting is a forming method which can be used for materials with less ductility. This is the case of iron aluminides.

Why is it important?
Iron aluminides are cheap, highly corrosion and oxidation resistance and have interesting mechanical properties at moderate temperatures, the problem is that its ductility is terrible. The question is that there are several materials (like gray cast irons and aluminum silicon alloys) which also have poor ductility. All of them are still useful to engineering, provided they are cast into a part.
Perspectives
This is a long time dream and I am thankful to Mrs Ramirez for accepting this research as her PhD thesis.
