Abstract

Recent studies suggested that additions of either Fe or Mn to polycrystalline Ni3Al without boron, result in a ductile alloy. In the present study the effects of Fe and Mn additions on the strength and ductility of Ni3Al were investigated at 25°C, 600°C in air and at 600°C in vacuum. Metallographic examination showed that with 4 at.% solute a single phase structure existed but at higher solute levels the alloys were two phase. Single phase materials tested in bending showed virtually no plastic strain and low bend strengths at all temperatures. The two phase materials tested at 25°C and 600°C in vacuum showed marked ductility. However, the same alloys tested at 600°C in air exhibited brittle failure. These results suggest that Fe and Mn have no effect on the high temperature dynamic environmental embrittlement known to occur in Ni3Al.
