The Physical and Mechanical Metallurgy of Ni3Al and Its Alloys

  • Chapter
Physical Metallurgy and processing of Intermetallic Compounds

Abstract

The physical and mechanical metallurgy of Ni3Al and its alloys are reviewed in this chapter. Emphasis is on developments within the past ten years, a period of extremely rapid growth in research on the behavior of this unusually interesting intermetallic compound. This chapter is particularly concerned with solute effects on properties such as strength ductility, fatigue resistance, and environmental stability, subjects which have received much attention. Novel processing techniques, including rapid solidification and powder processing, are shown to have played a key role in providing Ni3Al-base alloys with improved properties. An assessment of needed areas of research to hasten commercial applications of Ni3Al alloys concludes the chapter.
