Dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys composed of Ni3Al (L12)+Ni3V (D022) phases were developed, based on the Ni3Al-Ni3Ti-Ni3V pseudo-ternary alloy system. High-temperature tensile deformation, fracture behavior, and compression and tension creep were investigated using polycrystalline and single crystalline materials. The alloys with such a novel microstructure show extremely high yield and tensile strength with good temperature retention, and also reasonable tensile ductility. Also, creep test conducted at high temperature showed extremely low creep rate and long creep rupture time. The obtained results are promising for the development of a new-type of high-temperature structural material exceeding conventional superalloys.
