Abstract

An increase in the athermal component of the yield stress at low temperatures is the caused of the high temperature strengthening of discontinuously reinforced NiAl matrix composites. The reinforcements stabilize the microstructure. The strengthening in the temperature range of 300–1273K, is believed to be related to the grain size refinement and effective pinning of grain boundaries. This conclusion was obtained from analysis of data from AlN, TiB2 and Al2O3/NiAl particulate composites.
