An oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) nanostructured FeNiZr alloy was fabricated via high energy mechanical alloying, and subsequently consolidated by the field assisted sintering technique (FAST). A range of input parameters: Temperature, hold time and pressure were evaluated in an effort to optimize the mechanical response of the material. Improvements in density, up to 98.6% of theoretical, were observed with increasing consolidation temperature and hold time at the cost of decreasing hardness values resulting from microstructural coarsening. Hardness values decreased from 650 to 275 HV by increasing processing temperatures from 750 to 1100 degrees C. The relationships between the varied processing parameters, microstructure and the experimentally measured yield and ultimate tensile strengths are discussed. Specifically, the effect of varying the temperature and hold time on the resulting porosity, as observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in tensile and compression samples, is emphasized.
