Abstract

Effects of Ti, Hf, Nb and W alloying elements addition on the microstructure and the mechanical behaviors of NiAl-Cr(Mo) intermetallic alloy were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, EDX and compression tests. The results show that Ni-31Al-30Cr-4Mo-2(Ti, Hf, Nb, W) alloy consists of four phases: NiAl, α-Cr solid solution, Cr 2Nb and Ni 2Al(Ti, Hf). The mechanical properties are improved significantly compared with the base alloy. The compression yield strength at 1 373 K is 467 MPa and the room temperature compression ductility is 17.87% under the strain rate of 5.56×10 −3 s −1, due to the existence of Cr 2Nb and Ni 2Al(Ti, Hf) phases for strengthening and Ti solid solution in NiAl matrix and coarse Cr(Mo, W) solid solution phase at cellular boundaries for ductility. The elevated temperature compression deformation behavior of the alloy can be properly described by power-law equation:= ɛ ˙ = 0.898 σ 8.47 exp [ - 615 / ( R T ) ] .
