Abstract

It is now well established that microalloying additions of B to Ni3Al drastically reduce low temperature grain boundary fracture and consequently increase the ductility of this intermetallic compound. One possible explanation for such effects involves the relationship between boron segregation to grain boundaries and free surfaces, and the resulting effect of such segregation on the cohesive energy of the grain boundaries. This study involves the extension of these concepts to an alloy based on Ni3Si. Auger spectroscopy has been carried out on fractured grain boundaries, grain interiors, and free surfaces to determine how B segregates in Ni3(Si,Ti). The consequences of the segregation of B on the cohesive energy of grain boundaries in Ni3Si based alloys are discussed.
