Structural characteristics of Ni3Al based alloys depending on the preparation conditions

Abstract

The paper presents an evaluation of the influence of the composition of alloys based on Ni3 Al on their mechanical characteristics. The structure of the alloy was controlled through directional solidification. The achieved values of mechanical characteristics are in good agreement with the material structure. The alloys with sub-stoichiometric contents of aluminium have a multiphase structure. These alloys contain network with high values of tensile strain. The microstructure of the samples was investigated and behaviour of dislocations in the alloys was analysed by Transmission electron microscopy methods (TEM).
