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.

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.

AbstractDual multi-phase intermetallic alloys composed of Ni3Al (L12)+Ni3V (D022) phases were developed, based on the Ni3Al-Ni3Ti-Ni3V pseudo-ternary alloy system. High-temperature tensile deformation, fracture behavior, and compression and tension creep were investigated using polycrystalline and single crystalline materials. The alloys with such a novel microstructure show extremely high yield and tensile strength with good temperature retention, and also reasonable tensile ductility. Also, creep test conducted at high temperature showed extremely low creep rate and long creep rupture time. The obtained results are promising for the development of a new-type of high-temperature structural material exceeding conventional superalloys.

ABSTRACTMicrostructure, high-temperature tensile deformation and oxidation property of Ni3Si-Ni3Ti-Ni3Nb multi-phase intermetallic alloys with a microstructure consisting of L12, D024 and D0a phases were investigated. The tensile stress as well as the tensile elongation of these multi-phase alloys increased with increasing Si content, i.e. the volume fraction of L12 phase in the wide range of test temperatures. 50-ppm boron addition to these multi-phase intermetallic alloys resulted in increased tensile stress and tensile elongation. The multi-phase intermetallic alloy with a high Si content had good oxidation resistance, and also the boron addition to this alloy resulted in enhanced oxidation resistance. From an overall evaluation of the properties examined, it was shown that the multi-phase intermetallic alloy, which has a high Si content and is composed of L12 matrix dispersed by D024 and D0a phases, had the most favorable properties as high-temperature mechanical and chemical materials.

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.

Recent advances in the automatic indexing of backscatter Kikuchi diffraction patterns on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has resulted in the development of a new type of microscopy. The ability to obtain statistically relevant information on the spatial distribution of crystallite orientations is giving rise to new insight into polycrystalline microstructures and their relation to materials properties. A limitation of the technique in the SEM is that the spatial resolution of the measurement is restricted by the relatively large size of the electron beam in relation to various microstructural features. Typically the spatial resolution in the SEM is limited to about half a micron or greater. Heavily worked structures exhibit microstructural features much finer than this and require resolution on the order of nanometers for accurate characterization. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques offer sufficient resolution to investigate heavily worked crystalline materials.Crystal lattice orientation determination from Kikuchi diffraction patterns in the TEM (Figure 1) requires knowledge of the relative positions of at least three non-parallel Kikuchi line pairs in relation to the crystallite and the electron beam.

Crystalline materials are routinely produced via high-temperature synthesis and show size-dependent properties; however, a rational approach to regulating their crystal growth has not been established. Here we show that dopants...
