Abstract
Three NiAl-based alloys containing 3Nb–10Mo, 5Nb–10Mo or 13.6Nb–18Mo (at%) were directionally solidified to develop three dimensional Mo-based dendrite networks. Examination of the alloys indicated that the desired chemistry was achieved for the 3Nb–10Mo and 5Nb–10Mo versions but the composition of the highly alloyed ingot was NiAl–14.6Nb–13.2Mo. The as-grown structure for all three materials consisted of three major phases: essentially unalloyed B2 crystal structure NiAl, Laves NiAlNb phase alloyed with ∼8.5 Mo, and a bcc metallic Mo solid solution containing 27Nb–7Ni–7Al. Compressive properties were measured between 1200 to 1400 K in air under constant velocity and constant load creep conditions with strain rates ranging from ∼10 −4 to ∼10 −8 s −1. The flow strengths of the two alloys with 10Mo were nearly identical and much weaker than those for NiAl–14.6Nb–13.2Mo under all conditions. Comparison the properties of this latter alloy with other directionally solidified NiAl-based eutectics revealed that it was the strongest material under lower temperature/fast deformation conditions, but this advantage was lost at higher temperatures and/or slower strain rates.
