Abstract

The possibility of incorporating SiC or TiC particulate reinforcements in a Ni3Al matrix through the melt processing route was examined. Interface bonding and thermal stability of SiC and surface treated SiC in Ni3Al has been investigated through sessile drop and DTA experiments. Feasibility of various processing techniques such as the mechanical mixing method and the vacuum infiltration method was also explored.
