Abstract

Binary polycrystalline alloys of B2 NiAl, ranging from 47 to 51.5 at% Al, were prepared by casting and extrusion. These were tested in tension at temperatures ranging from 300 K to 873 K. Significant tensile ductility is observed in the near-stoichiometric alloy at room temperature as well as at 473 K in spite of the presence of only <100> dislocations. This anomaly appears to be related to the recrystallized texture, to the lower yield strength and to the presence of residual dislocations at grain boundaries in this alloy.
