Creep of Anomalous Ni3Ga
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Ni3Ga is among a number of LI2 ordered intermetallic alloys whose yield stress increases with temperature. In this work we have examined the creep strength of [123] and [001] oriented Ni3Ga specimens in the temperature regime of the yield stress anomaly and confirmed that the creep strength shows the normal rapid decrease with temperature. Inverse creep occurs in the [001] specimens where slip is on the {111} planes only. [123] specimens exhibit steady-state creep and slip line and TEM observations have shown slip on the cube plane and dislocations of both <110> and <100> Burgers vectors are present. We have carried out creep tests of prestrained [123] samples and demonstrated that the storage of primary <110> {111} screw dislocations, locked in the Kear-Wilsdorf configuration, has no effect on creep.
