Mechanical Behavior of Ternary and Quaternary Rual Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2011
Abstract
The mechanical behavior of RuAl-base intermetallic alloys with alloying additions of boron, niobium and platinum has been investigated. Compression tests have been performed at room temperature and 973 K. While the addition of alloying elements results in solid solution strengthening, the strain-rate sensitivity and the activation volumes do not show a significant variation, thereby suggesting that the macroscopic flow mechanisms are not strongly affected. Deformation substructure analysis of the niobium-containing alloy shows the presence of <100> and <110> dislocations, while the platinum-containing alloy additionally contains a significant density of <111> dislocations.
