Abstract

Ductile intermetallic Ni3 Al-B alloys have been processed through three rapid solidification techniques: melt spinning, gas atomization, and plasma deposition. Different thermal treatment was required for each rapidly solidified product to form samples for mechanical evaluation. Melt-spun ribbons were tested in ribbon form in the as-cast or annealed conditions, while atomized powders were tested after consolidation by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or low pressure plasma deposition. Alloy strength, as well as tensile ductility, was found to depend strongly on processing technique, thermal treatment, sample geometry, and most importantly, alloy chemistry. Microstructural and fractographic observations indicate that grain boundary brittleness caused by material processing history plays the major role in determining the alloy's mechanical behavior.
