Dual two-phase intermetallic alloys composed of geometrically close packed (GCP) structures of Ni3Al(L12) and Ni3V(D022) containing Nb were investigated in terms of the microstructural evolution during low temperature annealing (aging) and the related mechanical properties. The eutectoid region, i.e. the prior Al phase (Ni solid solution) is composed of the lamellar-like structure consisting of Ni3Al(L12) and Ni3V(D022) phases. The lamellar-like structure tended to align along <001> direction and on {001} plane in the prior A1 phase (or the L12 phase). In a wide range of temperature, the dual two-phase intermetallic alloys showed high yield and tensile strength, and also reasonable tensile ductility, accompanied with ductile fracture mode.

AbstractDual multi-phase intermetallic alloys composed of Ni3X (X: Al and V) containing Nb were developed, on the basis of the Ni3Al-Ni3Nb-Ni3V pseudo-ternary alloy system. The dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys were characterized by scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies. High-temperature compression and tension tests, and compression creep test were conducted. It was found that the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys show high yield and tensile strength with good temperature retention, accompanied with reasonable tensile ductility. The compression creep test conducted at high temperature showed lower creep rate in the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys than in conventional Ni-base superalloys. The obtained results are superior to the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys containing Ti.

ABSTRACTThe effect of W addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni3Al (L12) and Ni3V (D022) two-phase intermetallic alloys has been investigated. W was added to the base alloy composition, Ni75Al10V12Nb3 (at. %) in place of either Ni, Al or V. The W-added alloy ingots were heat-treated in vacuum at 1575 K for 5 h. The majority of W-added alloys showed a dual two-phase microstructures while the alloy in which 3 at. % W substituted for Ni exhibited the dual two-phase microstructure containing W solid solution dispersions. Vickers hardness was significantly enhanced by W addition, which is primarily due to solid-solution strengthening.

ABSTRACTThe effect of Si addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of dual two-phase intermetallic alloys was investigated. Si was added to the base alloy composition Ni75Al9V13Nb3 + 50 wt. ppm B by three substitution ways in which Si was substituted either for Ni, for Al and for V, respectively. The alloys added with 1 at.% Si showed a dual two-phase microstructure composed of Ni3Al (L12) and Ni3V (D022) phases, while the alloys added with over 2 at.% Si exhibited the same dual two-phase microstructure but contained third phases. The third phases were G phase (Ni16Si7Nb6) and A2 phase (the bcc solid solution consisting of Nb and V). Yield and tensile strength of the 1 at.% Si-added alloys were high in the alloy in which Si was substituted for Al but low in the alloys in which Si was substituted for Ni or for V, in comparison with those of the base alloy. Tensile elongation was lower than that of the base alloy irrespective of substitution ways. The density of the Si added alloys was close to or slightly lower than that of the base alloy. Oxidation resistance of the Si added alloy was increased. Si addition to the dual two-phase intermetallic alloys is beneficial for reducing the density and enhancing the oxidation resistance without a harmful reduction of strength properties.

Dual multi-phase intermetallic alloy, which is composed of Ni3Al(L12) and Ni solid solution (A1) phases at high temperature annealing and is additionally refined by a eutectoid reaction at low temperature annealing, according to which the Al phase is transformed into the Ni3Al(L12)+Ni3V(D022) phases, was prepared. High-temperature tension and creep test were conducted using single crystalline materials. The alloy with such a novel microstructure showed extremely high yield and tensile stresses with good temperature retention. The creep test conducted at high temperature showed extremely low creep rate and creep rupture time when compared with advanced Ni-based superalloys. The results obtained are promising for the development of a new-type of high-temperature structural materials.

AbstractUsing alloys whose initial microstructures are composed of Ni3Si(L12), Ni3Si(L12)+Ni3Ti(D024) and Ni3Si(L12)+Ni3Nb(D0a), aging phenomenon and the associated high-temperature tensile property were investigated. It was shown by micro hardness measurement that age hardening behavior due to the precipitation of the Ni3Ti(D024) phase occurs in all alloys at temperatures above 823K. It was however shown by tensile test that the precipitated Ni3Ti(D024) phase is not so much effective in improving the mechanical properties of alloys whose initial microstructures are composed of Ni3Si(L12)+Ni3Nb(D0a) or Ni3Si(L12)+Ni3Ti (D024). In alloys whose initial microstructures are composed of Ni3Si(L12)+Ni3Nb (D0a), a good combination of tensile strength and tensile elongation was found over a wide of test temperature whether or not they contain the precipitated Ni3Ti(D024) phase.

AbstractThe microstructural evolution of intermetallic alloys, which have dual two-phase microstructure composed of Ni3Al (L12) and Ni3V (D022) phases, was investigated as a function of aging time at 1273K by TEM. At early aging time, the lower microstructure showed structurally decomposed clusters composed of L12 phase and three D022 variant structures. With proceeding aging time, the decomposed L12 and D022 phases coarsened and transformed to lamellar-like microstructures. At longer aging time, the L12 phase disappeared from the lamellar-like microstructure and alternatively the D022 phase composed of two different variant structures prevailed over the lamellar-like microstructures. Corresponding to this microstructural change, the direction of the lamellar and its interfacial plane rotated from <001> to <011> and from {001} to {011}, respectively.
