Abstract

A small amount of boron addition in rapidly solidified Ni3 Al has been found to yield remarkable improvements in bolh room-temperature strength and ductility. In this study, the microstructure of melt-spun Ni3Al ribbons with various boron modifications ranging from 0 to 6.0 at% was investigated in detail by using transmission electron microscopy. All alloy compositions studied reveal a completely ordered fcc L12 matrix phase, in which polygonized dislocation networks and subgrain boundaries are observed. The boron-free Ni3 Al contains a dispersion of an Al-rich martensitic phase consisting of alternate twins. The boron addition tends to suppress the formation of the martensitic phase, but excessive boron (≥ 2.0 at%) causes the precipitation of M23B6 type borides.
