Abstract

The improvements in the mechanical properties of nickel-base alloys that have been made possible by rapid solidification processing are reviewed. The results of processing by powder metallurgy, laser melting, low pressure plasma deposition and spray forming are examined. In general, the increased homogeneity obtained by rapid solidification allows for increased alloying and improved hot workability. The refined grain size improves the low and intermediate temperature strength, but leads to lower strengths at high temperature. For the high temperature applications, post solidification grain growth is required, as for example the directional recrystallization of powder metallurgy preforms. The development of a novel means of producing a fine dispersion from amorphous alloy precursors and the recent work attempting to improve the ductility of the intermetallic phases NiAl and Ni3A1 are also described.
