Abstract

A comparison of published creep data on binary NiAl showed that there is a discrepancy in the reported magnitudes of the stress exponents, n, which usually vary between about 4.5 and 6.5. In general, a close examination of the data suggested that n ≈ 4.5 for cast materials arid 6.5 for powder-metallurgy extruded NiAl. Constant load compression creep tests were conducted on a cast and extruded binary NiAl between 800 and 1200 K over a wide range of initial applied stresses varying between 4.0 and 200 MPa. The microstructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The observed variations in the creep behavior of the extruded cast and powder-metallurgy NiAl appeared to be due to a grain size effect. Despite similarities in the values of n, no significant substructure was observed in most of the grains in the cast and extruded specimens at 1100 and 1200 K in contrast to the PM-extruded alloy, which revealed a wide range of substructural features in the power-law creep region. However, extensive subgrain formation and dislocations were widely observed at lower temperatures and higher stresses in the cast and extruded material.
