AbstractThe compression creep behavior of five Al- Ni-Ru ternary alloys with compositions across the NiAl-RuAl B2 phase field has been investigated within the temperature range of 950 °C to 1050 °C. A continuous increase of the melting temperature and creep resistance with increasing Ru/Ni ratio in these alloys was observed. Post-creep dislocation analyses identified the presence of <100> and <110> edge dislocations in the Al-deficient alloys. Conversely, jogged <100> screw dislocations predominated in the Ru-rich ternary alloys. Dislocation substructures and transient experiments suggest a transition of the creep mechanism from viscous glide controlled to jogged screw motion in these alloys.
