Abstract

This work reports on the synthesis, characterization and preliminary mechanical properties of nanocrystalline NiAl/Al2O3 composite materials. Nano-scale crystallites of NiAl were formed by high energy milling of pre-alloyed powder with and without Al2O3 under an Ar atmosphere. Consolidation of the nano-scale powders was done by sinter-forging at < 0.4 Tm in air. Characterization of the powders and consolidated microstructures and hardness data are reported.
