Abstract

Thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal expansion data were obtained on well-annealed Ni3Al containing 24 and 25 at. % Al. The results span the temperature range 300 to 1000 K. The expansion coefficients did not vary with composition and increased with temperature, reaching values of aIout 17 × 10−6 K−1 at 1000 K. The thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity changed rapidly with composition, and the thermal conductivity of 24 at. % Al is as much as 30% lower than that for stoichiometric Ni3A1. The electronic Lorenz function of Ni3Al was obtained by subtracting the estimated phonon conductivity component and found to be within about 5% of the Sommerfeld prediction from 300 to 1000 K. The electrical resistivity results for stoichiometric Ni 3Al are influenced by the loss of ferromagnetic order at lower temperatures and are not adequately described by the Bloch-Grüneisen equation.
