Abstract
ABSTRACTIn-situ composites consisting of ∼14 vol.% continuous Mo fibers embedded in a NiAl matrix were produced by directional solidification in a xenon-arc-lamp, floating-zone furnace. The fiber spacing and size were controlled in the range 1–2 μm and 400–800 nm, respectively, by varying the growth rate between 80 and 20 mm/h. Electron back-scatter diffraction patterns from the constituent phases revealed that the growth directions and interface boundaries exhibited the following orientation relationships: 〈l00〉NiAl//〈100〉Mo and {011}NiAl//{011}Mo. The temperature dependence of the tensile strength and ductility were investigated and the NiAl-Mo composite was found to be both stronger and have a lower ductile-brittle transition temperature than the unreinforced NiAl matrix.
